About N,N',N''-Tris(2-methyl-2,3-epoxypropyl)-perhydro-2,4,6-oxo-1,3,5-triazine
A cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Detailed Analysis
This cyclic epoxy-triazine compound contains three 2-methyl-2,3-epoxypropyl substituents attached to a perhydro-triazine ring, conferring reactivity and potential for protein and DNA interaction. EU hazard statements include H341 (suspected mutagen) and H412 (harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects). The epoxide functional groups raise particular concern for skin sensitisation and reactivity. The ingredient is not listed in EU Annexes, but its hazard profile makes it a poor candidate for cosmetic use.
Known Concerns
- ⚠ Suspected germ cell mutagen (H341)
- ⚠ Harmful to aquatic organisms with long-lasting effects (H412)
- ⚠ Reactive epoxide functional groups with sensitisation potential
- ⚠ No formal SCCS safety assessment for cosmetic use
- ⚠ Structural complexity raises concerns about impurity profiles
Safety Score
Caution
Based on EU regulatory data, published safety research, and ingredient function analysis.
