About
An ester of cis-3-hexenol and cinnamic acid providing warm, sweet-fruity fragrance with a rosy undertone, classified as a fragrance allergen and requiring EU label declaration.
cis-3-Hexenyl cinnamate is an unsaturated ester derived from cis-3-hexen-1-ol and cinnamic acid. It is used as a fragrance ingredient and is not subject to EU CosIng Annex III restriction. However, as a cinnamate derivative and fragrance substance, it requires declaration on EU cosmetic ingredient labels above the 0.01% threshold under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. No major GHS acute toxicity or sensitization warnings are assigned, though cinnamate-related structures warrant monitoring for cross-reactivity.
