Description:

Methoxypropylamino cyclohexenylidene ethoxyethylcyanoacetate is a synthetic organic UV filter used in certain sunscreen and cosmetic formulations. It absorbs ultraviolet radiation, particularly in the UVA range, to help protect the skin from sun exposure. Its permitted use varies by jurisdiction, and it is subject to specific concentration and formulation restrictions in the European Union.

Health concerns:

Ecotoxicity

May be toxic to ecosystems and wildlife.

Banned/restricted lists:

  • EU Cosmetics Regulation Annex VI - Permitted UV filter

HOW MILLION MARKER SCORES CHEMICALS

Million Marker's Ingredient Hazard Scoring uses multiple chemical databases and a science-backed scoring system to compute hazard scores for thousands of chemicals found in consumer products and listed on ingredient labels.

We identified key chemicals based on a database compiling dozens of authoritative sources, screening tools, and QSAR models.

Hazard scores within 11 different health categories (carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, reproductive toxicants, developmental toxicants, genotoxicity, neurotoxicity, organ system toxicity, immunotoxicity, respiratory toxicity, skin/eye/respiratory irritants, and ecotoxicity).

They are weighted based on several factors, including strength of evidence for adverse impacts in humans, severity, and potential contamination.
