About
A fragrant ester combining linalool derivatives with cinnamic acid, adding warm, slightly woody scent notes while carrying standard fragrance allergen considerations.
Linalyl cinnamate is the esterification product of linalool and cinnamic acid, combining two common fragrance building blocks. As linalool is itself a major fragrance material whose oxidation products are known allergens, this ester requires careful handling. EU SCCS assessments address linalool oxidation; while the cinnamate ester is not independently restricted, it inherits considerations from its linalool component.
Known concerns
- Potential fragrance allergen (inherited from linalool component)
- Linalool oxidation products are known contact allergens
- Declaration required on INCI list
