About

Methyl2-phenylmethyleneoctylideneamino Benzoate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Methyl 2-phenylmethylene octylideneamino benzoate contains a benzylidene amino benzoate moiety, suggesting potential UV-filter or photoprotective applications. However, this specific compound is not listed in EU Annex VI (authorised UV filters) and has not been evaluated by the SCCS. The benzylidene group raises concerns regarding photosensitisation potential, and the overall safety profile for cosmetic use remains inadequately documented.

Skin benefits

  • May contribute to photoprotective properties in formulations

Known concerns

  • Not an authorised EU cosmetic UV filter or ingredient
  • Photosensitisation potential due to benzylidene structure
  • No SCCS safety evaluation published
  • Structural alert for Schiff-base reactivity
