About
2-PHENYLPROPYLTETRAHYDROFURAN is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
2-Phenylpropyltetrahydrofuran is a heterocyclic fragrance ingredient combining a phenylpropyl group with a tetrahydrofuran ring, functioning as a fragrance ingredient with woody and fruity notes. It carries EU CLP hazard classification H302 (harmful if swallowed), making it notable among fragrance materials. It is not listed in EU Annexes II or III. The tetrahydrofuran heterocycle introduces some concern for organ toxicity at high doses, but as a fragrance ingredient used at trace levels, systemic exposure is limited. The H302 classification reflects acute oral toxicity observed in animal studies at higher doses.
