About
A green note ester contributing fresh, fruity-green aroma reminiscent of unripe banana or fresh-cut grass in fragrance applications, with low acute toxicity but considered a potential fragrance allergen.
cis-3-Hexenyl isobutyrate is an unsaturated branched ester naturally present in many fruits and green plant tissues. It is used as a fragrance ingredient and is not listed in EU CosIng Annex III restrictions, meaning it is not subject to specific concentration limits under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. However, as a fragrance substance it is subject to IFRA guidelines and EU allergen declaration requirements when present above 0.01% in finished cosmetic products.
Known concerns
