About
Methyl 3-oxo-pentenyl-cyclopentaneacetate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This cyclopentane derivative contains both ketone and unsaturation (pentenyl group) which together create structural alerts for sensitisation and enhanced toxicity. It carries GHS classifications for acute oral toxicity (H302), skin sensitisation (H317), and serious eye irritation (H319). The presence of an alpha-beta unsaturated ketone moiety is a known structural alert for skin sensitisation under EU cosmetics regulation considerations.
