Safety

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not evaluated Dithiaoctanediol. While it is not on EWG's restricted lists, GHS classifications for the raw substance indicate potential for serious eye irritation (H319) and harm if swallowed (H302). Additionally, it is noted as toxic or harmful to aquatic life. However, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and Environment Canada report limited evidence of dermal toxicity or allergies, classifying it as not expected to be toxic, persistent, bioaccumulative, or an environmental toxin for typical cosmetic use. INCIDecoder rates its irritancy as 'medium'.

Our Assessment

Questionable

Dithiaoctanediol serves as a skin conditioning agent, but its use is questionable for precision skincare due to a lack of CIR review, absence of specific clinical efficacy data, and GHS warnings for the raw substance indicating potential irritation, despite ECHA's more favorable dermal assessment.
