Caution

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

1-ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium Bromide is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

1-Ethyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide is a quaternary ammonium compound bearing a H341 hazard classification (suspected of causing genetic defects). In the EU, ingredients with mutagenicity concerns are subject to strict scrutiny under Regulation 1223/2009 and the Cosmetics Criterion for mutagenicity (SCCS guidance). Quaternary ammonium salts with positive Ames test data are typically excluded from cosmetic formulation, particularly in leave-on products. While used in some industrial biocides, cosmetic application is limited and caution is warranted.

Known concerns

  • Suspected germ cell mutagen (H341) - potential genotoxicity
  • Quaternary ammonium salts may cause irritation in sensitive individuals
