About
3-methyl-1-phenyl-3-hexene 1,5-epoxide is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This isomeric epoxide fragrance shares structural similarities with its 2-hexene counterpart, providing comparable green-floral olfactory profiles. GHS classification includes H319 (eye irritant) and H412 (aquatic with long-lasting effects), which under EU cosmetic regulation requires standard reporting for fragrance allergens. Dermal sensitization data are limited, and IFRA guidelines prescribe conservative maximum use levels in skin-contact finished products.
