About

N-Dichloroacetyl Tryptamine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

N-Dichloroacetyl Tryptamine contains a dichloroacetyl group attached to a tryptamine skeleton, raising concerns around electrophilic reactivity and potential genotoxicity. Dichloroacetyl derivatives are not listed in EU Annex II or III specifically, but the structural alerts for mutagenicity (haloacetyl group) and lack of adequate safety data place it in the 20–39 range. Not commonly used in commercial cosmetic formulations.

Known concerns

  • Haloacetyl structural alert for genotoxicity/mutagenicity
  • Insufficient safety/toxicological data for cosmetic use
  • Potential reactivity with skin proteins
