About

Ethyl Ethanolamine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Ethyl ethanolamine (2-ethylaminoethanol) is a secondary amine used as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and buffering agent in cosmetic and industrial formulations. It has low acute toxicity by oral and dermal routes but can cause skin and eye irritation at higher concentrations; labeling for skin sensitization is required in the EU. It is not listed in Annex II (banned substances) or Annex III (restricted substances) of the Cosmetics Regulation at the concentrations typically used as a pH adjuster.

Skin benefits

  • pH adjuster helps maintain product stability and skin compatibility
  • supports emulsification in cosmetic formulations

Known concerns

  • skin and eye irritation at higher concentrations
  • requires skin sensitization labeling in EU
