About
Isopropyl-methyl-bicyclooctene-2-carbaldehyde is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This bicyclic carbaldehyde is a fragrance material carrying sensitisation (H317) and chronic aquatic toxicity (H411) classifications. Aldehyde functional groups are structural alerts for sensitisation, and the bicyclic skeleton is structurally similar to some fragrance sensitisers. EU cosmetics regulation does not specifically list this substance, but the H317 classification means leave-on use should be carefully controlled and allergen declaration may be required depending on concentration and other factors.
