About

Methoxyhydratropaldehyde is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

METHOXYHYDRATROPALDEHYDE is a substituted aromatic aldehyde functioning as a fragrance ingredient. The EU Cosmetics Regulation (1223/2009) requires fragrance allergens listed in Annex III to be declared on ingredients lists when above 0.001% in leave-on or 0.01% in rinse-off products. It is not banned but is considered a potential skin sensitizer, particularly in susceptible individuals.
