Expert Verdict
Structurally related to PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) family - known sensitizers and photoallergens; although the acetylated form may reduce sensitization potential, caution is warranted; limited published safety data specific to this ester. Aminobenzoate ester with UV-absorbing chromophore; the acetylamino group differentiates it from active UV filters like Padimate O
