About [(Tolyloxy)methyl]oxirane, cresyl glycidyl ether

Detailed Analysis

Cresyl glycidyl ether (CGE, CAS 26447-14-3) is classified as a skin sensitiser (H317) and eye irritant under GHS. The EU Cosmetics Regulation does not list it in permitted Annexes, effectively restricting its use in cosmetic products. While trace residual amounts in epoxy-resin systems may occur, it is not intentionally added to modern cosmetic formulations and would be flagged by standard impurity profiling.
