DIMETHYLHEXYL ACETATE.

The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) has evaluated 1,5-dimethylhexyl acetate, determining it to be non-genotoxic, non-phototoxic, and non-photoallergenic. Based on read-across data from similar compounds, it is not considered a safety concern for skin sensitization at current usage levels. However, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) committee has categorized its data as 'insufficient', and a general assessment for broad cosmetic use with a maximum concentration is not explicitly available. The SCCS has not reviewed this ingredient for use as a colorant, preservative, or UV-filter, nor is it regulated under the Cosmetics Regulation annexes.
