Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A polycyclic methanoindenyl ester used as a woody/green fragrance fixative. Polycyclic fragrance class has some environmental scrutiny.
Hexahydro-methanoindenyl propionate (CAS 68912-13-0) is a polycyclic fused-ring ester used in perfumery as a woody/green fixative. Polycyclic fragrance esters (Cyclademol / Dupical family) tend to be highly lipophilic with potential for environmental persistence, drawing class-level scrutiny. Public cosmetic-specific toxicology data are limited. IFRA/RIFM govern use. Not on EU Annex II. Default-down applied.
