About

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

Eugenyl phenylacetate is the phenylacetate ester of eugenol, combining the warm, spicy character of eugenol with the sweet, honey-like notes of phenylacetic acid. Like all eugenol derivatives, it is subject to EU allergen declaration requirements and IFRA restrictions due to skin sensitisation potential. The phenylacetate moiety may provide some masking effect on the reactive allyl chain of eugenol, but general eugenol-class precautions apply.

Skin benefits

  • Provides warm, sweet, honey-floral fragrance notes with spicy undertones

Known concerns
