Why it's flagged
2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone / Oxybenzone is listed in Annex VI of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 (UV filters allowed in cosmetic products).
The score describes this ingredient's chemical identity — its hazard profile from published classifications and regulatory status — not the safety of any product it appears in.
Evidence
No graded sources yet for 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone. We publish evidence only once a source is linked and reviewed — this ingredient is in the catalog, but has not been assessed.
Suitability
Context-specific fit derived from published classifications and the current ingredient evidence profile.
Good fit
Fragrance avoidance
Not a strong fit for fragrance avoidance because it carries Fragrance.
The ingredient itself is a fragrance-linked signal, so it is better treated as an avoid case when fragrance exposure is the main concern.
