About

An industrial organophosphate plasticizer with neurotoxicological concerns that is not approved for cosmetic use in the EU.

Trixylyl Phosphate (TXP) is an organophosphate ester plasticizer used primarily in vinyl polymers, adhesives, and industrial coatings. It is classified as a Category 2 reproductive toxicant (H361fd - suspected of damaging fertility and the unborn child) under CLP Regulation and has been flagged in screening assessments for neurotoxicity. The EU Cosmetics Regulation does not include trixylyl phosphate in any positive list, effectively indicating it is not approved for intentional cosmetic use.

Known concerns

  • Suspected neurotoxicity from organophosphate structure
  • Not approved for cosmetic use under EU Regulation 1223/2009
  • Aquatic toxicity
