Hydroxybenzomorpholine (HBM) is a heterocyclic compound that is used in cosmetics as a coupler in coal tar hair dyes. No deaths were reported in a subchronic oral toxicity study in rats. Some degenerative changes in the cortical tubules of the kidneys were observed in the mid and high-dose groups. HBM was considered to be practically nonirritating to the rabbit eye and produced only slight skin irritation. HBM was neither a sensitizer nor a photoallergen. HBM was not mutagenic in either the Ames assay or in the mouse micronucleus test.On the basis of the data included in the report, Hydroxybenzomorpholine is considered to be safe as a hair dye ingredient at the current concentrations of use.
