Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A nitro-substituted aromatic amine with irritant properties, used at low concentrations in oxidative hair dye systems.

This compound carries H302 (oral toxicity), H315/319 (skin/eye irritation), H332 (inhalation toxicity), and H335 (respiratory irritation) statements. The irritant profile suggests caution is needed during handling, though use at up to 2.0% in rinse-off hair dye formulations is considered acceptable under current EU cosmetic safety assessments.
