About

Terpinyl Propionate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Terpinyl propionate is the propionic acid ester of terpinenol, used as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient. It has limited publicly available toxicological data compared to better-studied cosmetic ingredients. The EU cosmetics regulation requires full INCI declaration of fragrance allergens, and such esters may trigger sensitization reporting obligations. Not currently restricted in Annex II or III, but regulatory scrutiny is ongoing.
