Hydroxyacetophenone

Low risk

FunctionAntioxidant

What it is — Hydroxyacetophenone (INCI: Hydroxyacetophenone) is an antioxidant.

What it does — It is commonly used as an alternative to parabens.

Typical use — It is used in serums, essences, creams and eye products, commonly to help defend against everyday oxidative and environmental stress. It complements sun protection and a consistent routine rather than replacing either.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types. Antioxidants are typically used as a supporting part of a routine rather than a standalone fix. Store antioxidant products well, as some can degrade with prolonged light and air exposure.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: generally well-tolerated but classified EWG 3 with some data gaps on sensitization. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — generally well-tolerated but classified EWG 3 with some data gaps on sensitization.
