About

Methyl Bicycloheptenyl-methyloxirane-carboxylate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This bicyclic terpenoid carboxylate contains an epoxide functional group that introduces potential reactivity concerns. The oxirane ring structure raises sensitization and cytotoxic considerations under SCCS review. It has no specific EU cosmetic restriction listing but falls under general fragrance allergen guidance where applicable. Its complex bridged structure limits systemic availability in topical applications.

Known concerns

  • Epoxide ring structural alert for sensitization potential
  • Potential reactivity with skin proteins
  • IFRA allergen guidelines may apply
