About
Propenyl P-Cymene is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This compound is a positional isomer in the cymene family and contributes to fragrance compositions as a scent component. EU regulatory assessment via IFRA has identified mild skin sensitization potential, but it remains permitted in cosmetic formulations at controlled concentrations. While not listed in EU Annex III for severe restriction, it falls under general fragrance allergen guidance requiring declaration in finished products placed on the EU market according to the 7th Amendment to the Cosmetics Directive.
