About

Cis-2-Phenylpropenyl Acetate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This compound is an ester of phenylpropenyl alcohol with acetic acid, conferring a sweet, floral-rosy odor profile used in fragrance compositions. The phenylpropenyl (styryl) substructure can be subject to EU regulatory review when present in certain fragrance allergen contexts. The compound is not listed in EU Annexes II or III, but suppliers typically recommend restrictions on skin contact due to limited toxicological datasets. It requires IFRA compliance review.

Known concerns

  • Limited toxicological data available
  • Potential skin sensitization at high concentration
  • IFRA supplier-level restrictions
  • Phenylpropenyl structure may require allergen labeling in EU
