About

Rose Ketone-4 (CAS 23696-85-7) is restricted under EU Annex III reference 160, indicating specific concentration limitations due to its allergenic potential. It is a damascone-type fragrance ketone used for rose-like notes in perfumery. Like other rose ketones, the sensitization potential is the primary safety concern driving its restriction.
