About
Tetramethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-methyl Formate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Formate esters of cyclic terpenic alcohols represent a specialized fragrance ingredient class. The tetramethylcyclohexene core suggests an amber-woody odor character. Limited specific toxicity data exists for this exact structure, necessitating assessment based on structural analogues within the terpene formate class. EU REACH requires safety documentation, and standard IFRA guidelines for terpene esters apply for cosmetic formulations using this ingredient.
