Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
An anthranilate-type UV absorber and fragrance component combining a cyclohexenyl methyleneamino group with a methyl benzoate core.
This complex anthranilate derivative serves dual functions as UV filter component and fragrance material. It is not listed in EU Annexes I through VI for UV filters, suggesting cosmetic-grade usage as a fragrance or aromatic ingredient only. The dimethylcyclohexenyl methyleneamino group presents moderate sensitization concern under SCCS evaluation, warranting IFRA-guided concentration limits in leave-on products.
Known concerns
- Sensitization potential requiring IFRA usage guidelines
- Not approved as a UV filter in EU Annex VI
