Sources of Exposure: Personal care products

Health Impacts: Caprylhydroxamic acid is reported to be at least 99% pure, but according to NICNAS, formulators should consider monitoring products for formation of hydroxylamine (according to the European Chemicals Agency, hydroxylamine is a suspected carcinogen) if formulated at pH < 5 or pH > 8, or if formulation intermediates are substantially acidic or basic. Caprylhydroxamic acid may pose a concern to health due to the possibility of being contaminated with hydroxylamine.
