⚠️ Legal notice – Restriction on use of Musk Xylene
Important: Musk Xylene is listed in Annex II of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (1223/2009) and thus prohibited in cosmetic products within the European Union.
The substance is classified as persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic and should not be used in consumer products such as perfumes, creams or other cosmetic formulations.This raw material is offered exclusively for educational purposes and professional use outside the cosmetics industry.
Use in finished cosmetic products is not permitted.Although IFRA does not impose separate restrictions on Musk Xylene, EU law, which is binding on all market participants, prevails.
Musk Xylene reacts with amines, especially Indole, which can produce a red color even at normal dosages in a perfume composition.
