About
Flumioxazin is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Flumioxazin is a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor herbicide used in agriculture. It has no documented cosmetic applications. The primary hazard classifications relate to environmental toxicity: H400 (very toxic to aquatic life) and H410 (very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects). Agricultural pesticide residues in cosmetic raw materials are regulated in the EU, and substances with this hazard profile are typically restricted.
