About
Ethylhexanamide Serinol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Ethylhexanamide Serinol is a specially structured organic amide based on a serinol (2-amino-1,3-propanediol) core with an ethylhexanoyl fatty acid substituent. It has no entries in EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 Annexes II, III, or IV, indicating no specific safety concerns have been identified or triggered in the EU cosmetics regulatory framework. The ethylhexanoic acid (2-ethylhexanoic acid) moiety has been reviewed by the EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) with no significant concerns at typical cosmetic use levels, and the serinol group is a natural metabolite.
