ISO

4/10

Concern level

Moderate concern

Isoeugenyl acetate is an aromatic fragrance material and ester of isoeugenol. It is used in perfumery and cosmetic fragrance systems rather than for a direct skin-benefit function. PubChem lists it as a fragrance allergen, and IFRA includes a dedicated standard for the substance.

Risks & Warnings

Main concern is fragrance allergy/sensitization, especially in leave-on products and among users sensitive to eugenol/isoeugenol-related materials. Can also contribute to irritation in reactive skin. Because it is a fragrance allergen, low-level use and proper labeling are important. ([pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Isoeugenol-acetat?utm_source=openai))
