About

ETHOXYHEPTYL BICYCLOOCTANONE is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Ethoxyheptyl bicyclooctanone is a synthetic aromatic ketone used as a fragrance ingredient and skin conditioning agent. It imparts woody, slightly musky scent notes. It is listed in EU CosIng without specific restriction. Like many synthetic fragrance materials, it should be evaluated for sensitization potential. The ethoxy substituent improves solubility and substantivity compared to unsubstituted analogues.
