About T-BUTYLBENZAMIDO HYDROXYLPHENYLACETAMIDE

A phenolic amide antioxidant and skin protecting agent with potentially sensitizing aromatic benzamide structure; used at low concentrations in cosmetic formulations.

Detailed Analysis

T-butylbenzamido hydroxyphenylacetamide is an aromatic amide combining a tert-butylbenzamido group with a hydroxyphenylacetamide moiety. It functions as an antioxidant and skin protecting agent in cosmetic formulations. The aromatic benzamide structure may present sensitization potential in susceptible individuals. The restriction listed in CosIng appears to be a generic 'ban substances that deplete the ozone layer' reference rather than specific to this ingredient—likely a database categorization artifact. No specific EU regulatory restriction applies to this compound.
