About

A fragrance ester derived from hydrocinnamic acid and cinnamyl alcohol, used to add warm, balsamic notes to perfumes and cosmetic scents.

Hydrocinnamyl cinnamate (also known as dihydrocinnamyl cinnamate) is a saturated cinnamate ester with no EU Annex III restrictions. As a hydrogenated derivative of cinnamyl cinnamate, it presents lower sensitization risk than its unsaturated counterparts. IFRA/RIFM evaluations support its use in cosmetic fragrance applications at standard concentrations.

Known concerns

  • Potential fragrance allergen requiring declaration
  • Generally lower risk than unsaturated cinnamate counterparts
