About
Cyclamen Aldehyde is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
CYCLAMEN ALDEHYDE (3-(p-isopropylphenyl)-2-methylpropanal, or lily-of-the-valley aldehyde) is a widely used fragrance ingredient providing intense cyclamen, floral, and green notes. It is listed in EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 Annex III as a fragrance allergen requiring mandatory declaration on ingredient lists when present above 0.001% in leave-on or 0.01% in rinse-off products. While not prohibited, its allergen classification and potential for skin sensitization in susceptible individuals place it in the regulated fragrance category. IFRA guidelines restrict its use in certain applications to minimize sensitization risk.
