About

Ethyl Tetramethylcyclohex-2-enecarboxylate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Note: classified as harmful to aquatic environments. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This fully substituted cyclohexene ester is employed as a fragrance material. It carries H412 classification (harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects) under CLP, which is the primary regulatory concern. While not listed in EU Annex II, the aquatic toxicity profile has led to IFRA restrictions on highly substituted cyclohexene derivatives in cosmetic applications. Use concentrations in finished products are regulated to minimize environmental release via washed-off products.

Known concerns

  • H412 — harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects
  • IFRA-restricted due to environmental toxicity
