Attributed physical-property, hazard, environmental and use annotations.

  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 18 was calculated for flumioxazin(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 2.55(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on column leaching studies and the short aerobic soil half-life, the potential for flumioxazin to leach in field agricultural soil is low(1). In soils that have been treated with flumioxazin, it is generally not found below 3 inches in depth(2). Volatilization losses from soil surfaces are negligible(1). Flumioxazin degrades rapidly in soil water via hydrolysis with half-lives of 3.4 to 5.1 days at pH 5.0, 21.4-24.6 hours at pH 7.0, and 14.6-22.0 minutes at pH 9.0(1); therefore, aqueous hydrolysis in moist soils will be an important fate process(SRC). Microbial degradation in soil is also an important fate process(1); the half-life for aerobic soil metabolism is 11.9 to 17.5 days, with an average of 14.7 days(1,2). The photolysis half-life on soil is 3.2 to 8.4 days (average 5.8 days)(2). The rapid soil dissipation rate indicates flumioxazin is not persistent in soil(1). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 13000(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that flumioxazin is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). The hydrolytic degradation half-life of flumioxazin in soil water is 3.4 to 5.1 days at pH 5.0, 21.4-24.6 hours at pH 7.0, and 14.6-22.0 minutes at pH 9.0(3); therefore, hydrolysis will be the major degradation process in water(SRC). An anaerobic aquatic metabolism half-life of 0.2 days has been reported(4). The photolysis half-life in water at pH 5 is 1 day(4). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be slow(5) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.28X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 2.41X10-6 mm Hg(6), and water solubility, 1.79 mg/l(4). Using this estimated Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(5), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 1,765 hours and 809 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(7), an estimated BCF of 18(SRC), from a log Kow of 2.55(4) suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), flumioxazin, which has a vapor pressure of 2.41X10-6 mm Hg at 25 °C (2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase flumioxazin is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 6.8 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.68X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) (that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Particulate-phase flumioxazin may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

What Annex II means for Flumioxazin

Flumioxazin is listed as a prohibited substance under Annex II of EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 and must not be intentionally added. Article 17 separately addresses unintended small quantities that are technically unavoidable under good manufacturing practice and compatible with the Article 3 safety requirement.

Formulators must screen their ingredients and raw materials to ensure none contain this substance. Suppliers should provide documentation confirming absence when requested.

The page also surfaces 12 related annex records with overlapping identifiers, annex logic or naming patterns.

Compliance checklist

  • Verify this substance is absent from all raw materials and finished formulations.
  • Request absence confirmation or CoA from raw material suppliers.
  • Document the screening result in the Product Information File (PIF).
  • This substance has CMR classification. Review the CMR table above and verify current Annex II/III status before use.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Flumioxazin is listed in Annex II of EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 and is prohibited as an intentionally added cosmetic ingredient. Article 17 provides a narrow exception for unintended small quantities that are technically unavoidable under good manufacturing practice, provided the product remains safe under Article 3.

CAS 103361-09-7 is the unique numerical identifier assigned to Flumioxazin by the Chemical Abstracts Service. In cosmetic compliance work, the CAS number is used to cross-reference the substance across regulatory databases, raw material specifications and safety assessment reports. Multiple EU annex entries may share the same CAS number if the same substance appears under different conditions or in different annexes.

Flumioxazin has a CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic) classification under EU CLP Regulation. Under Article 15 of EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, CMR substances of category 1A or 1B are prohibited in cosmetics unless specifically permitted. Category 2 CMR substances may be used only if assessed safe by the SCCS. Always verify current annex status and any applicable derogations before use.
