Name Aminomethyl Propanol Description Aminomethyl propanol is used as a pH adjuster in cosmetic formulations. Aminomethyl propanol can be synthesized by the condensation of the corresponding nitroparaffins with formaldehyde and reduction to the b-aminoalkanols. The reduction to the alkano-lamine is accomplished by hydrogenation in the presence of a Raney nickel catalyst. Benefits Aminomethyl propanol has NOT been found to be mutagenic or a reproductive toxin. Considerations • Nitrosamine Contamination Aminomethyl propanol itself does not form nitrosamines, but it may contain impurities that can.
• Skin Irritation At higher concentrations or in susceptible individuals, aminomethyl propanol may cause skin irritation. Synonyms 2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol
