About

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

Also referenced by its INCI name PEMEC, this aromatic carbinol has no EU cosmetic restriction listings in any Annex of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. It has been evaluated by RIFM and IFRA as safe at current use levels. The phenyl-ethyl structural motif contributes to its characteristic rosy-floral olfactory profile while presenting low potential for skin sensitization in controlled dermatological testing.
