About

Zinc O,O'-diisopropyl bis(dithiocarbonate) is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Zinc O,O'-diisopropyl bis(dithiocarbonate), also known as zinc diisopropyl dithiocarbonate, is a coordination complex used mainly as a vulcanization accelerator in rubber and as a fungicide. It is not listed in EU Annex II or III of Regulation 1223/2009; however, dithiocarbonate compounds may release carbon disulfide and have moderate skin sensitization potential. Cosmetic usage is incidental rather than intentional.

Known concerns

  • Skin and respiratory sensitization
  • Limited safety data for cosmetic use
