About

An aromatic ether that acts as a fragrance ingredient and solvent, with some reported skin sensitization potential.

Benzyl tetrahydropyran is a cyclic ether with a benzyl substituent, used primarily as a fragrance component and polar aprotic solvent in cosmetic formulations. It is structurally related to benzyl alcohol derivatives. In the EU, it is monitored as a potential fragrance allergen under SCCS opinions; while not currently restricted in Annex III, the structurally similar benzyl derivatives have been flagged for skin sensitization. Safe use is concentration-dependent, typically below 1% in finished products.

Skin benefits

Known concerns
