Cyclohexanepropanol ●
TL;DR. This ingredient is used primarily as a fragrance component, adding a mild floral, waxy, or green odor profile to personal care formulas. It may also contribute slight solvent character within a fragrance blend.
What does Cyclohexanepropanol do in a cosmetic formula?
This ingredient is used primarily as a fragrance component, adding a mild floral, waxy, or green odor profile to personal care formulas. It may also contribute slight solvent character within a fragrance blend.
Is Cyclohexanepropanol clean?
From a clean-beauty perspective, this ingredient mainly raises the usual fragrance-transparency question because it can appear within a parfum blend rather than as a prominently discussed active. It is not a headline restricted allergen in the same way as the most regulated fragrance allergens, but sensitization potential depends on dose, purity, and the full scent composition.
Is Cyclohexanepropanol sustainable?
This material is typically synthetic and commonly associated with petrochemical feedstocks rather than a clearly renewable supply chain. Its small-molecule alcohol structure suggests better degradability than persistent silicones or fluorinated materials, but public biodegradation data specific to it is limited.
Is Cyclohexanepropanol COSMOS-approved?
This ingredient is generally not aligned with COSMOS organic or natural standards when used as a synthetic fragrance molecule, since COSMOS fragrance rules favor natural aromatic materials from recognized natural processes. From a Green Chemistry perspective, it is a relatively simple molecule, but its usual synthetic sourcing and limited public lifecycle data weaken its alignment.
How does Cyclohexanepropanol work chemically?
This compound is a saturated cyclic aliphatic alcohol, which makes it relatively nonpolar with one hydroxyl group that improves limited compatibility in fragrance concentrates. In formulas it would usually be used at low fragrance-component levels, and like many alcohol-based scent materials it is more relevant for odor stability, oxidation control, and blend compatibility than for bulk formula structure.
