  • Cosmetic Ingredient Review Finding(s): Ingredients for which the data are insufficient and their use in cosmetics is not supported Source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)
  • Environmental Bioconcentration: Bioconcentrationw were measured in carp over a 6 week period. With starting concentrations of 5 ppm and 0.5 ppm the measured bioconcentrations were less than 0.3 to 0.65 and less than 2.8 at morpholine, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF ranges suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 7.4(SRC), determined from a log Kow of -0.86(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that morpholine is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of morpholine is 8.49(4), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). Volatilization of cationic morpholine from moist soil surfaces will not occur since ions do not volatilize(SRC). Volatilization of the neutral form of morpholine from moist soil surfaces may be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.2X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 10.1 mm Hg(6), and assigned value for water solubility of 1.0X10+6 mg/L (miscible)(6). Morpholine is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(6). The theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test was 0% after 2 weeks(7). Results from longer biodegradation screening tests indicate morpholine is biodegradable in activat Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 7.4(SRC), determined from a log Kow of -0.86(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that morpholine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of 8.49(4) indicates morpholine will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(5). According to a classification scheme(6), measured BCF values of less than 0.3 to 0.65 and less than 2.8(7), suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Only 3 out of 58 river die-away tests failed to biodegrade morpholine or failed to contain morpholine-degrading bacteria. Lag periods of approximately 6 to 50 days were observed(8). These data indicate that biodegradation in aquatic environments will vary depending on conditions(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), morpholine, which has a vapor pressure of 10.1 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase morpholine 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 2.8 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.4X10-10 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Morpholine does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

Questions this page answers

This official record identifies the substance as prohibited for cosmetic use in the stated market scope. Do not rely on a formulation containing this identity until the cited source, effective date and exact substance match have been verified.

A prohibition entry may contain no separate condition text because the regulatory outcome is the prohibition itself. Korean source wording is canonical and other positive lists/notices may still apply to the formulation.

The record cites 화장품 안전기준 등에 관한 규정, 별표 1, record 1-369, source version 2026-19. Open the official source.

No. CAS helps resolve identity, but jurisdictions can classify the same substance differently and can apply different product scopes, limits, warnings and transition dates.
