About

2-isopentenyl Salicylate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

2-Isopentenyl salicylate is a salicylate ester derived from isopentenyl alcohol and salicylic acid. It functions primarily as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in cosmetic preparations, contributing a characteristic floral-herbaceous note. Salicylate esters may exhibit mild skin sensitization potential in certain individuals, and IFRA guidelines impose restrictions. While structurally related to UV-filter salicylates (e.g., octyl salicylate), this compound is not listed among approved EU sunscreen filters.

Known concerns

  • Potential skin sensitizer
  • IFRA restriction applies
