About

A UV-absorbingbenzotriazole derivative with skin sensitization and environmental toxicity concerns.

This PEG-6 substituted benzotriazole UV absorber is used for UVA protection in cosmetic formulations. It carries harmonised classification under EU CLP as H317 (skin sensitization category 1) and H411/H413 (aquatic toxicity). The benzotriazole scaffold has raised environmental concerns in the EU due to persistence and bioaccumulation potential. Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 does not specifically list this compound, but aquatic toxicity classification may affect product labelling and environmental risk assessments.
