About

A nitrile-containing fragrance material with acute oral toxicity and skin irritation concerns, requiring careful handling and formulation control.

This aromatic nitrile features both vinyl and nitrile functional groups which contribute to its toxicological profile. It carries classifications for acute oral toxicity (H302), skin irritation (H315), and chronic aquatic toxicity (H412). Nitrile-bearing fragrance materials are not specifically restricted under EU cosmetics law, but the acute toxicity classification means oral exposure must be avoided and use levels should be controlled.

Skin benefits

  • Provides distinctive aromatic character to fragrance compounds

Known concerns

  • Harmful if swallowed (H302)
  • Causes skin irritation (H315)
  • Harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H412)
