About
Morpholine-4-carbonyl chloride is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Morpholine-4-carbonyl chloride is an acid chloride of N-carbonyl morpholine used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, including the synthesis of certain cosmetic pigments and polymers. The EU GHS classification (H315 skin irritation, H319 eye irritation, H351 suspected carcinogen) reflects its reactive nature and toxicity profile. Its use in finished cosmetic products is unlikely due to its reactive chemistry and classification, though it may appear as a processing residual.
Known concerns
- H315 skin irritation
- H319 eye irritation
- H351 suspected carcinogen
- Highly reactive acid chloride - not suitable for direct cosmetic application
- No EU authorization for cosmetic ingredient use
