About M-TERT-BUTYLPHENYL ISOBUTYRALDEHYDE
M-Tert-Butylphenyl Isobutyraldehyde is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Detailed Analysis
m-tert-Butylphenyl isobutyraldehyde carries hazard classifications H302 (harmful if swallowed), H317 (skin sensitizer), H360 (reproductive toxicity), H360D (may damage the unborn child), and H413 (may cause long-lasting harmful effects to aquatic life). The H360 classification is a serious concern for cosmetic use, as EU Regulation 1223/2009 prohibits substances classified as reproductive toxicants (Category 1B) from use in cosmetic products. The aldehyde structure also contributes to fragrance allergen concerns, and the compound requires strict concentration limits or complete avoidance in skin care formulations.
