About
ETHYLPENTYL METHOXYCHROMONE is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Ethylpentyl methoxychromone is a synthetic chromone ring system bearing methoxy, ethyl, and pentyl substituents. Chromones are aromatic heterocyclic compounds with known biological activities. The specific substitution pattern creates a unique chemical entity with no published cosmetic safety data. No EU restriction is documented, but the methoxy substitution on a heterocyclic ring system raises potential reactivity and toxicity concerns that require evaluation.
Known concerns
- No cosmetic safety data available
- Synthetic heterocycle with uncertain toxicity
- Limited regulatory assessment
