3-tert-butyl-2-methoxypyrazine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

3-TERT-BUTYL-2-METHOXYPYRAZINE is an alkylpyrazine fragrance compound not currently subject to EU Annex restrictions, meaning it may be used without a specific concentration cap. However, its acute oral toxicity (H302) and characteristic strong aroma at low concentrations indicate it should only be used in highly diluted fragrance compositions.

Known concerns

  • Acute oral toxicity (H302)
  • Should be used only at very low concentrations in fragrance blends
