Considerations

• Eye Irritation Has been found to cause eye damage at high concentrations. • Environmental Toxicity Considered an environmental toxin with long-lasting effects, especially in aquatic systems. • Potential Endocrine Disruptor The data on dimethyl phenyl 2-butanol is quite limited. However dimethyl phenyl 2-butanol belongs in a class of chemicals called benzenoids. Benzenoids are aromatic chemicals with a benzene ring. Benzene rings, especially those that are exposed, have the potential to interact with estrogen receptors. These properties have not been studied in dimethyl phenyl 2-butanol. It has not been reviewed by the Cosmetics Ingredients Review Board (CIR) or the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). The reproductive or other subacute effects of dimethyl phenyl 2-butanol have not been studied in live animals.
