Safety
Safety Profile
Trimethylcyclohexene-1-methanol (CAS 472-20-8) is classified under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) as causing skin irritation (H315) and serious eye irritation (H319), categorized by ECHA as Skin Irritation Category 2 (100%) and Eye Irritation Category 2A (100%). It also carries a potential for respiratory irritation (H335). Although a direct CIR or SCCS assessment for this specific isomer is unavailable, safety assessments for structurally related compounds, such as 2,4,6-trimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-methanol (CAS # 68527-77-5) and 3,5-dimethylcyclohexene-1-methanol (CAS # 67634-16-6), identify them as skin sensitizers. Sensitization reactions for these read-across materials were observed at concentrations of 5% (2500 µg/cm²) or 10% (5000 µg/cm²). Estimated maximum acceptable concentrations for these related materials in cosmetic products range from 0.086% to 3.3%.
