About
A long-chain branched unsaturated aldehyde used for waxy-floral fragrance notes. Monitor use level in leave-on due to aldehyde sensitization class.
Trimethylundecenal (CAS 141-13-9) is a C11 branched unsaturated aldehyde used as a fragrance ingredient for waxy, floral, and aldehydic effects. Long-chain aldehydes are substantially less systemically reactive than short-chain dienals but still belong to the broader fragrance aldehyde sensitization class and are subject to RIFM/IFRA management. Public CIR/SCCS cosmetic monographs for this specific isomer are limited. Default-yellow placement reflects the sparse public record balanced against industry routine use at controlled percentages.
