About

A monoterpene acetate fragrance found in myrtle and pine oils, used for its fresh aromatic profile in perfumes with moderate sensitisation risk.

Myrtenyl acetate is a monoterpene acetate ester found in the essential oils of plants such as Myrtus communis (myrtle) and some Pinus species. Under EU Cosmetics Regulation, it is monitored via COSING and falls within the class of fragrance ingredients that may require declaration under Annex III. It has no GHS hazard statements in the input data but like many essential oil components, it carries moderate sensitisation potential.

Known concerns

  • COSING-listed fragrance ingredient with monitoring status
