About
A cyclohexane-derived acetate ester with a fresh, fruity-green, slightly woody odor used in fragrances; no EU regulatory restrictions and a clean safety profile.
Cyclohexylethyl acetate (2-cyclohexylethyl acetate) is a saturated cyclic ester providing a fresh, green-fruity, slightly woody fragrance profile. The saturated cyclohexyl ring provides metabolic stability and reduces the risk of oxidation-derived sensitizers. CosIng does not list this compound in any EU regulatory annexes with restrictions. Standard toxicological testing shows no evidence of genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, or significant skin sensitization at current use levels.
