About

Simazine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Simazine (CAS 122-34-9) is a triazine herbicide previously used in agriculture. It is classified in the EU as a potential endocrine disruptor and is subject to restrictions under plant protection product regulations. The EU has not approved simazine for cosmetic use—ingredients derived from or related to banned pesticides have no place in personal care formulations. Environmental contamination through raw material sourcing is also a concern, as simazine persists in soil and water.

Known concerns

  • Banned pesticide-derived compound
  • Potential endocrine disruption
  • Environmental persistence
