About

TRIMETHYL-3-PHENYLINDAN is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Trimethyl-3-phenylindan is a synthetic fragrance belonging to the indane family, providing warm, woody, and ambery notes to fragrance compositions. Indane derivatives are used in fine fragrances and personal care products for their substantive, long-lasting scent profile. The specific substitution pattern (three methyl groups and a phenyl substituent) is proprietary, but the general class has a history of safe use at low concentrations. No EU-specific restrictions apply to this compound.
