About
A monoterpene aldehyde used as a fragrance material, with limited safety data and known sensitization potential.
Pinanal (tricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane-1-carbaldehyde or a pinane-derived aldehyde) is a fragrance ingredient contributing piney, fresh notes. It has limited published safety data compared to more common fragrance materials. Monoterpene aldehydes are known contact allergens, and the lack of extensive toxicological data contributes uncertainty. EU CosIng does not list specific restrictions, but IFRA guidelines apply to analogous structures for sensitization control.
