About

Magnesium Benzoyl Phenylphosphinate is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This compound is the magnesium salt of benzoyl phenylphosphinic acid. Organophosphinates are structurally simpler relatives of organophosphates but lack the acute toxicity of many phosphate esters. The ingredient is not listed in EU Annex II or III. REACH registration may be pending or not yet required given low volumes in cosmetics. The phenylphosphinate moiety is the primary toxicological consideration.

Skin benefits

  • Magnesium contributes to skin mineral balance
  • May provide thickening/viscosity modification

Known concerns

  • Phosphinate structure requires toxicity profiling
  • Limited cosmetic-specific safety data
