About

Hydroxycitronellal Methyl Anthranilate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This Schiff base-type fragrance ingredient combines hydroxycitronellal with methyl anthranilate, both well-known fragrance allergens. The combined structure carries H317 (may cause allergic skin reaction) and H319 (causes serious eye irritation) classifications under EU CLP Regulation. Hydroxycitronellal is already listed as an EU Annex III fragrance allergen requiring mandatory labelling, and this combined form raises additional concern due to the methyl anthranilate component which is also a sensitiser.

Skin benefits

  • Provides floral, citrusy fragrance character to cosmetic products

Known concerns

  • H317 skin sensitiser
  • H319 serious eye irritant
  • Contains hydroxycitronellal — a listed EU Annex III fragrance allergen
  • Contains methyl anthranilate — additional fragrance allergen concern
  • Dual sensitisation hazard from both moieties
