About

Phenylhydrazinium Chloride is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Phenylhydrazinium chloride is a hydrazine derivative with severe acute toxicity (H301, H311, H331) and multiple serious hazard classifications including H350 (carcinogen) and H341 (mutagen). Hydrazine compounds are prohibited in cosmetic products under EU Annex II. Its strong sensitisation potential (H317) further confirms its unsuitability.
