Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not conducted a specific safety assessment for Dimethylbutyl Acetate. While the FDA generally does not require pre-market approval for cosmetic ingredients, manufacturers are responsible for ensuring product safety. The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) noted one allergic reaction out of 1323 tested individuals to 'DMBCA' (Dimethylbutyl Carbinyl Acetate), which is considered a synonym for Dimethylbutyl Acetate, suggesting a potential for sensitization.
