About

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

Methyl formylaminobenzoate is a substituted benzoic acid derivative containing both a methyl ester and a formamide (N-formyl) functional group. The formylamino substituent introduces a reactive functionality that may be metabolically activated, and its toxicity profile is not well established in published literature. While not specifically listed in EU Annex restrictions, the limited data available and the structural complexity warrant caution in cosmetic applications.
