Our take
Is Amyl Cinnamal a Good Ingredient?
Rated Poor as it provides fragrance only and is a recognized allergen with a sensitization risk, offering no skincare benefit. In the EU it is subject to allergen labeling, reflecting that risk.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Delivers a floral, bouquet-style scent that elevates the sensory experience. Provides no skin care benefit and may bother fragrance-sensitive users.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Used in perfumes, body lotions, and shampoos to impart a floral note. Frequently included in fragranced creams and deodorants, where allergen disclosure may be required.
Before you use it
Safety
Higher potential for irritation and allergic contact dermatitis, especially in leave-on products and sensitive skin. The EU requires labeling when present above 0.001% in leave-on and 0.01% in rinse-off products.
