Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not yet evaluated METHYLENEDIOXYBENZOYL ETHYL PABA. Comprehensive toxicity data, including oral, parenteral, dermal, and inhalation routes, are currently undetermined. It is critical to distinguish this ingredient from Ethylhexyl Dimethyl PABA (Padimate O), which has undergone extensive safety reviews and is subject to specific usage restrictions.
