NITROSAMINES IN COSMETICS

Nitrosamines are chemical compounds classified as potential carcinogens. Nitrosamines are formed when nitrosating agents react with secondary or tertiary amines. Examples of nitrosating agents include nitrites (such as sodium nitrite) and nitrogen oxides. These compounds can be found in various environments and can react with amines from different sources. This reaction can additionally occur under specific conditions, such as high pH or elevated temperature.
