Ingredient

Ethyl Acetate

Low risk

FunctionSolvent

What it is — Ethyl Acetate (INCI: Ethyl Acetate) is a volatile organic solvent.

What it does — It dissolves other ingredients and evaporates quickly, helping fast-drying formulas set or film-form on contact with skin, nail, or hair.

Typical use — Used at small percentages in quick-dry formulas; flammable in concentrated form, but used at low levels in finished cosmetic products.

Who it suits / good to know — Its topical hazard at typical use levels is low; the main handling concern is flammability during manufacturing, not on-skin safety.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
