About

Hydroxyethyl Acrylamide is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Hydroxyethyl acrylamide (CAS 7646-67-5) is an acrylamide derivative monomer. Acrylamide compounds are known skin sensitizers and some are classified as suspected carcinogens. The ingredient carries restriction considerations in EU cosmetic regulation due to the toxicological profile associated with the acrylamide functional group. Residual monomer content must be carefully controlled in any cosmetic formulation.

Known concerns

  • Suspected carcinogen (acrylamide class)
  • Skin sensitizer
  • Requires residual monomer control
  • Not widely used in cosmetic formulations
