About

Delta-octalactone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Delta-octalactone is a cyclic ester (lactone) found naturally in many fruits and dairy products, used as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient. It is listed in CosIng under Regulation EC 1223/2009 without EU Annex II or III restrictions. With GRAS status in food and no reported sensitization at typical cosmetic use levels, it presents a very favorable safety profile. IFRA standards apply for fragrance use.
