About
Hydroxyphenyl Glycinamide is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Hydroxyphenyl glycinamide is the aromatic amide derivative of p-aminophenol, functioning as a primary intermediate in oxidative (permanent) hair dye formulations. Upon coupling with hydrogen peroxide and a coupler compound, it produces a range of dye shades. No GHS hazard statements are recorded for this substance, though aromatic amines in this structural class are known to require caution for skin sensitisation. EU regulations permit its use in oxidative hair dye systems subject to the general oxidative hair dye safety assessment under SCCS guidance.
Known concerns
- Potential skin sensitisation (aromatic amine class)
