About
ISOBUTYL FURYLPROPIONATE is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Isobutyl furylpropionate is a furfuryl-substituted ester functioning as a fragrance ingredient with characteristic fruity, plum, and rum-like odor notes. Furfuryl esters are formed from furfural (which is EU Annex III restricted) but this specific ester is not separately listed in EU cosmetic restrictions. The furan ring structure provides distinctive odor character but also introduces mild reactivity concerns at high concentrations. It is not individually restricted under EU CosIng Annexes.
