Caution

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Ethylenediamine is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Ethylenediamine (C₂H₈N₂, CAS 107-15-3) is a diamine with significant GHS hazards including H314 (severe skin burns/eye damage), H317 (skin sensitization), H334 (respiratory sensitization), H361 (suspected reproductive toxicity), and H370 (organ damage). It's a well-documented contact allergen and is one of the standard patch test allergens. While it may appear as a trace component in cosmetic formulations (e.g., as part of EDTA synthesis), direct use on skin carries substantial risk. The EU classifies it as a known sensitizer.

Known concerns

  • Strong contact allergen — standard patch test allergen
  • Causes severe skin burns and eye damage (H314)
  • Respiratory sensitizer (H334)
  • Suspected reproductive toxicity (H361)
  • Organ toxicity (H370)
  • Harmful if swallowed or inhaled
