Safety Profile
TERT-BUTYLQUINOLINE's safety for cosmetic use has not undergone review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel. It is important to differentiate this compound from Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a distinct ingredient that has been deemed safe by CIR at concentrations below 0.1%; this assessment does not apply to TERT-BUTYLQUINOLINE.
