About

A fragrance ester of cinnamyl alcohol and formic acid, used to impart warm, floral-green scent notes to perfumes and cosmetic products.

Cinnamyl formate is a member of the cinnamyl ester family commonly used in fragrance compositions. While structurally related to known fragrance allergens, the formate ester presents a distinct sensitization profile. It is not listed in EU Annex III with specific concentration restrictions, but it is monitored as a potential fragrance allergen under SCCS/IFRA guidance.

Known concerns

  • Monitored fragrance allergen
  • Cinnamyl derivatives may cross-react with other allergens
  • Declaration required on INCI ingredient list
