A very long-chain unsaturated acetate used as a minor fragrance component with no significant hazard data.
Tetramethylhexadec-2-enyl acetate is a C20 branched-chain acetate with a limited toxicological profile. No harmonised EU CLP classification applies and it is not restricted in EU cosmetics regulation. The long-chain structure suggests low systemic absorption, making it suitable for leave-on formulations from a toxicity standpoint.
