Caution

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Tert-butyl Dimethyl Acetophenone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

TERT-BUTYL DIMETHYL ACETOPHENONE carries acute toxicity hazard statements (H301 oral, H312 dermal) placing it in a higher-hazard category for skin exposure. While not currently subject to EU Annex restrictions, the acute toxicity profile makes it unsuitable for broad cosmetic use, particularly in leave-on products. It is restricted or recommended against by many fragrance safety assessment bodies.

Known concerns

  • Acute oral toxicity (H301)
  • Acute dermal toxicity (H312)
  • Not approved by IFRA without restriction
  • Unsuitable for leave-on cosmetic products
