Rose Ketones

ROS

6/10

Concern level

Moderate concern

Rose ketones are a fragrance-material family, most commonly referring to damascone-type molecules used to impart rosy, fruity, blackcurrant, and floral notes in perfumes and fragranced cosmetics. They are not skincare actives; their role is scenting and odor modification. The group includes potent odorants used at very low levels because of their strong olfactory impact and potential sensitization profile typical of fragrance chemicals.
