O-Hexyl-N-ethoxycarbonylthiocarbamate is a thiocarbamate-derived compound. Thiocarbamates as a class have been associated with neurological effects in occupational exposure settings and some members are classified as carcinogens or environmental hazards. No entry exists in the EU CosIng database for this specific compound, indicating it is not an authorised cosmetic ingredient. The ethoxycarbonyl group introduces additional metabolic uncertainty. This ingredient should be treated as a compound lacking sufficient safety justification for cosmetic use.
