About
Ethyl Tricyclodecanecarboxylate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Ethyl tricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane-1-carboxylate (CAS 2094-73-7) is a synthetic bridged alicyclic ester used primarily as a fragrance material in cosmetics and fine fragrances. Due to its complex tricyclic structure, it is not naturally occurring and has limited published safety data compared to aliphatic esters. It is not listed in EU Annex II (banned substances) or Annex III (restricted substances), indicating no specific regulatory concern at present. However, the relative lack of widespread toxicological literature keeps it below the highest safety tiers. Used within established fragrance practice, it is considered acceptable but warrants awareness.
