About
A cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This organosilane combines triethoxysilyl and methoxyphenylbenzoate functionalities connected through an iminomethyl linker. The trialkoxysilane group enables covalent bonding to surfaces (skin, hair, nails) creating durable films. The benzoate moiety contributes fragrance and potential UV absorption properties. No specific EU Annex restrictions apply to this organosilane class. The ethoxy groups hydrolyze to ethanol during curing.
Skin benefits
- Surface bonding
- Film-forming
- May improve product durability on skin or nails
Known concerns
