About

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

Methyl methylcyclohexenecarboxylate is a cycloaliphatic ester with a complex ring structure that contributes specific odor notes in fragrance compositions. It is not listed in EU Annex restrictions and carries no hazard statements. However, the limited published toxicological data for this specific compound means that while no specific concerns are identified, standard precautionary use concentration limits apply for fragrance materials in cosmetic applications.
