About

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

Thioacetanilide is an aromatic thioamide primarily used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. It has no established cosmetic use or safety assessment under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. Thioamides as a class can exhibit toxicity (including thyroid effects in some cases), and without SCCS evaluation or toxicological data specifically for cosmetic exposure, it cannot be considered safe for topical application in cosmetic products.

Known concerns

  • no cosmetic safety evaluation
  • potential toxicity class
  • no EU regulatory assessment
