About
A cyclohexene-derived fragrance alcohol with limited cosmetic safety data and unsaturated ring system concerns.
Methylcyclohexenyl butanol is a partially saturated aromatic-fragrance hybrid combining a cyclohexene ring with a butanol side chain. The unsaturation in the ring and the primary alcohol group create potential for oxidation and sensitization reactions over time. Limited toxicological data exists specifically for this compound in cosmetic applications. It is not specifically restricted in EU annexes but requires case-by-case safety evaluation.
Known concerns
- Limited specific cosmetic safety data
- Unsaturated ring may oxidize
- Potential sensitization from oxidation products
