About
Ethyl Heptanoate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Ethyl heptanoate (ethyl enanthate) is a straight-chain fatty acid ester with fruity, pineapple-like odor characteristics used as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient. It has demonstrated very low acute oral and dermal toxicity, is not a skin sensitizer, and shows no phototoxicity concerns. It is not listed in EU Cosmetics Regulation Annexes II–VI, indicating wide acceptance for cosmetic use. It is stable under typical cosmetic formulation conditions and is commonly used in consumer products at low concentrations.
