About
A menthane-family terpene with minty character. Terpene hydrocarbons oxidize and can sensitize if poorly stabilized.
Didehydromenthane (CAS 29350-67-2) is a menthane-derived terpene hydrocarbon used in perfumery for minty/herbaceous facets. Terpene hydrocarbon class (limonene, linalool oxides) is a known source of fragrance allergens when poorly stabilized. Specific toxicology data for this isomer are sparse; RIFM/IFRA would govern industry use. Default-down per uncertainty rule.
