About
A sesquiterpene acetate from clove and beta-caryophyllene, used in fragrances for its spicy woody note; limited toxicology data but generally regarded as low concern.
Caryophyllene acetate is the acetylated derivative of beta-caryophyllene, a widely distributed sesquiterpene in essential oils such as clove and rosemary. The EU CosIng database does not restrict its use. While it lacks extensive independent toxicological evaluation, the parent compound beta-caryophyllene has been studied for anti-inflammatory activity, suggesting a favorable safety profile at fragrance-use concentrations.
