About

Kojyl Methylenedioxycinnamate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Kojyl Methylenedioxycinnamate is a synthetic cinnamate ester with UV-absorbing capability, functioning as a UV filter or stabilizer in cosmetic formulations. While some cinnamate UV filters are EU-approved (e.g., octyl methoxycinnamate), this specific substance (kojyl derivative) lacks a clear entry in CosIng. The methylenedioxy group introduces structural features that may warrant closer safety evaluation for phototoxicity and skin penetration.

Skin benefits

  • UV-absorbing properties
  • May function as a sunscreen agent

Known concerns

  • Not clearly listed in EU CosIng database
  • Limited independent safety and sensitization data
  • Potential phototoxicity from methylenedioxy structure
  • Requires case-by-case safety assessment
