About

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

Phenethyl methacrylate is a fragrance ester contributing floral, rosy notes to cosmetic fragrances. It belongs to the methacrylate monomer family and may present mild skin sensitization potential at higher concentrations. IFRA guidelines restrict its use as a fragrance ingredient, and formulators must ensure final product concentrations remain below sensitization thresholds. The compound is not listed in EU Annexes as a banned or severely restricted substance.

Known concerns

  • Potential skin sensitizer (IFRA restriction applies)
