Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not conducted a specific safety assessment for Ethyl Phenoxyacetate. According to its Safety Data Sheet, the ingredient does not meet the classification criteria for acute toxicity, skin or eye irritation, or respiratory/skin sensitization under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. However, it is noteworthy that some external reports suggest potential for skin and eye irritation, advising cautious handling.
