About

O-Ethylphenyl)-2,2-Dimethylpropionaldehyde is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

3-(o-ethylphenyl)-2,2-dimethylpropionaldehyde (Temisal) is a branched aliphatic aldehyde with an o-ethylphenyl substituent. The aldehyde functional group creates sensitization potential (H315 skin irritation), and the branched structure may affect metabolism and toxicity. It is not specifically listed in EU Annex II or III of Regulation 1223/2009; however, IFRA has issued restrictions on this aldehyde in fragrance applications due to its sensitizing properties.
