O-Cresyl Acetate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

O-cresyl acetate (o-tolyl acetate) is the acetate ester of o-cresol, used primarily as a fragrance ingredient. The acylation of the phenolic hydroxyl reduces but does not eliminate the irritation potential associated with cresols. It is not specifically restricted in EU Annex II or III of Regulation 1223/2009, though general fragrance allergen declaration requirements apply. IFRA has recommended restrictions on certain cresol derivatives in fragrance formulations.
