About
Methyl Benzodioxepinone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Methyl benzodioxepinone (also known as Galaxolide® type component) is a synthetic fragrance material used for its warm, amber, and slightly floral olfactory profile. It is not listed in EU Annex III restrictions and carries no hazard statements. However, it has been identified in environmental monitoring studies and its persistence in aquatic environments is a growing regulatory concern in the context of the EU Green Deal.
