ALLYL-CYCLOHEXYLOXYACETATE ●
TL;DR. This ingredient is used as a fragrance material, adding fruity, sweet, pineapple-like notes to perfumes and fragranced personal care products. It has no primary skin-care function beyond scent design.
What does ALLYL-CYCLOHEXYLOXYACETATE do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient is used as a fragrance material, adding fruity, sweet, pineapple-like notes to perfumes and fragranced personal care products. It has no primary skin-care function beyond scent design.
Is ALLYL-CYCLOHEXYLOXYACETATE clean?
From a clean-beauty perspective, this ingredient has friction because it is a synthetic fragrance component and may be subject to IFRA category limits for sensitization management. It is not one of the classic EU 26 labeled fragrance allergens, but brands with fragrance-restriction policies may still flag it under broader perfume-material rules.
Is ALLYL-CYCLOHEXYLOXYACETATE sustainable?
This material is typically synthetically produced from petrochemical or mixed chemical feedstocks rather than directly sourced from renewable botanicals. Its environmental profile depends on fragrance-house data, and public biodegradation information is more limited than for simpler plant-derived esters.
Is ALLYL-CYCLOHEXYLOXYACETATE COSMOS-approved?
This ingredient is not aligned with COSMOS-natural or COSMOS-organic when used as a conventional synthetic fragrance molecule. It has limited Green Chemistry alignment because it is scent-active at low levels, but its synthetic origin and incomplete public biodegradability profile are drawbacks.
How does ALLYL-CYCLOHEXYLOXYACETATE work chemically?
The molecule is a small ester with an allylic unsaturated group and a bulky cyclic ether portion, which gives volatility and a strong fruity odor character. It is normally used at very low fragrance-compound levels and is managed through IFRA limits by product category, with formulation attention to oxidation and overall allergen load in the perfume concentrate.
