About

Methyl Decenol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Methyl decenol is an unsaturated ten-carbon aliphatic alcohol used as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics. Like many unsaturated fragrance alcohols, it carries mild irritancy potential and is subject to general fragrance allergen provisions under EU Regulation 1223/2009. While not individually listed in Annex III, it may contribute to the total fragrance allergen burden requiring mandatory labelling when exceeding thresholds.
