About

A guaiacol derivative with a dihydropyran ring, used primarily as a fragrance or flavor material. Carries H317 (skin sensitizer) and H412 (hazardous to aquatic life) hazard statements, requiring caution in cosmetic formulation.

This compound is a cyclic ether-phenol (guaiacol connected via a dihydropyran ring) that contributes to fragrance compositions. It is classified under GHS as H317 (may cause an allergic skin reaction) and H412 (harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects). EU Annex III may require restrictions for such sensitizing fragrance materials per the IFRA Standards. Not extensively studied for chronic dermal exposure.

Skin benefits

Known concerns
