About
Isocineole is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
ISOCINEOLE (1,4-cineole, or p-cymene derivative) is a monoterpene cyclic ether occurring naturally in essential oils such as eucalyptus, rosemary, and sage. It is used as a fragrance ingredient providing a fresh, cineole, herbal scent. Under EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, 1,4-cineole is listed by IFRA and is recognized as a fragrance ingredient that may require declaration. It has a moderate sensitization potential, particularly in occupational contexts, but is considered safe in cosmetic formulations at normal use concentrations by RIFM and IFRA safety assessments.
