About
Propylal is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Propylal (propyl propionate, CAS 505-84-0) is an ester compound used in cosmetic formulations primarily for its fragrance contribution. While not listed in EU Annex II (banned substances) or Annex III (restricted substances) under Regulation 1223/2009, it may contribute to fragrance allergen concerns under the EU's 7th Amendment requirements if used at levels requiring allergen declaration. Formulators should ensure compliance with IFRA standards and EU fragrance allergen labeling thresholds.
