About
Carvyl Acetate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Carvyl acetate is the acetate ester of carveol, a monoterpene found in caraway and dill oils. It is used as a fragrance compound. Limited repeated-dose toxicity data are available. The IFRA/WHO classification places it in the fragrance allergen category requiring declaration. Not currently subject to EU Annex restrictions, but should be used at conservative concentrations given the data gaps.
