ZINC BIS-METHYLIMIDAZOLE
Safety score · 0–100
Avoid
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A zinc complex with strong corrosive hazard flags, so it sits far below the comfort zone for typical skincare ingredients.
The supplied hazard data for zinc bis-methylimidazole include H302 and H314, meaning harmful if swallowed and capable of causing severe skin burns and eye damage. Even if finished-product exposure is moderated by formulation, a corrosive profile like that is far outside the norm for comfortable skincare ingredients.
