About
An acetate ester used as a fragrance material with a fruity-green odor profile; no significant hazards reported.
3-Methyl-3-octyl acetate is a branched acetate ester employed as a fragrance ingredient. Its saturated ester structure is associated with a favorable safety profile, and no GHS hazard statements are listed for this substance. It is not subject to specific EU cosmetics restrictions. The tertiary acetate structure may provide some resistance to hydrolysis compared to primary esters, potentially reducing secondary oxidation products.
