About

Propyl Propionate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Propyl Propionate (CAS 106-36-5) is a carboxylic acid ester used as a fragrance ingredient and flavoring agent in cosmetic products. It is not listed in EU Annex II or III restrictions under Regulation 1223/2009, meaning it may be used without a specific maximum concentration limit. However, it is subject to IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards and must be declared according to EU allergen labeling requirements when used above threshold concentrations in leave-on cosmetic products.
