About

Methoxy-tetramethyl-cyclohexenyl Methyl Ketone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This cyclohexenyl methyl ketone bearing a methoxy substituent is used as a fragrance ingredient. It carries GHS classifications for acute oral toxicity (H302) and skin sensitisation (H317), indicating the need for careful handling. It is not specifically restricted under EU cosmetics regulation, but the sensitisation potential limits its use in leave-on cosmetic products and suggests maximum concentration limits should be observed.

Skin benefits

  • Used as a fragrance material in cosmetic formulations

Known concerns

  • May cause an allergic skin reaction (H317)
