About

Isopulegyl Formate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Isopulegyl formate is the formic acid ester of isopulegol (a minty, citrus-smelling terpene alcohol derived from citronellal). It is evaluated under the IFRA Code of Practice and EU fragrance allergen regulations. The primary concern is dermal sensitization potential from the formate ester moiety and the p-menthane structure. Typical concentration limits in leave-on products are governed by IFRA standards. Safe in rinse-off products at moderate levels; leave-on requires IFRA compliance.
