About

Perfluorocaprylyl Bromide is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Perfluorocaprylyl bromide is a perfluoroalkyl surfactant containing a bromo terminal group. Perfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) are subject to increasing regulatory scrutiny in the EU due to their environmental persistence, bioaccumulative potential, and toxicity. While this specific compound is not currently listed in EU cosmetic annexes, the broader PFAS regulatory landscape (including the proposed PFAS restriction under REACH) indicates elevated concern for such substances in cosmetic formulations.

Known concerns

  • PFAS-related environmental concern
  • potential persistence/bioaccumulation
  • limited cosmetic safety data
  • increasing EU regulatory scrutiny
