About
Fluoromethoxystilbene is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Fluoromethoxystilbene is a synthetic stilbene derivative with fluorescent properties, carrying no assigned GHS hazard statements. Stilbene derivatives can act as UV absorbers and some, like resveratrol, have significant skin benefits. However, the methoxy and fluoro substitutions modify the compound's properties and the lack of toxicological data makes it difficult to assess safety definitively. No EU cosmetic restrictions are listed specifically.
