Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
METHYLCYCLOHEXANEDIONE is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Methylcyclohexanedione is a six-membered ring diketone with structural similarity to some quinone precursors. Public toxicological data are limited, and it is not specifically restricted under EU cosmetic regulations. Its moderate safety score reflects a data gap rather than confirmed hazard, and it is not a widely used cosmetic ingredient. Individual safety assessment is recommended prior to cosmetic use.
Known concerns
- Limited available toxicological data — precautionary use recommended
