About

Zinc Phenolsulfonate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Note: subject to regulatory restrictions in some markets. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Zinc phenolsulfonate is listed in EU Annex III under entry III/25, meaning it may be used in cosmetics only subject to specific restrictions (typically concentration limits and product type restrictions). Phenol derivatives are potential sensitisers and the sulfonated phenol structure raises concerns for skin and respiratory sensitisation. The restriction reflects these hazard profiles in the EU regulatory framework.

Known concerns

  • EU Annex III/25 restricted
  • Phenol derivative with sensitisation potential
  • May cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals
