About
Phenylmethylpentanal is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This hyacinth-type aldehyde provides sweet floral, slightly green, and fatty notes reminiscent of hyacinth, lily, and magnolia in fragrance compositions. No GHS hazard statements are associated with this substance in the submitted data. EU CosIng shows no Annex II or III restrictions, and IFRA guidelines permit use at normal fragrance concentrations (typically up to 10% in fragrance compounds). It must be declared as a fragrance allergen on INCI labeling when present above 0.001% in leave-on or 0.01% in rinse-off products per EU regulation 1223/2009.
