About
2-carenyl Methyl Ketone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This carene-derived ketone is used as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetic formulations. The 2-carene backbone structure presents mild sensitizing potential under EU scientific committee evaluation. It is not listed in any Annex of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, but IFRA has issued usage guidelines due to its structural relationship to known sensitizers in the terpenic class.
Known concerns
- Structural relationship to known fragrance sensitizers (carene derivatives)
- Oxidation products may increase sensitization risk
