CAS Number: 106-22-9
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides soft, lasting rose-floral fragrance note.
Why It's Used: Essential rose fragrance monoterpene for lasting smooth floral notes in high-quality perfumery and cosmetic fragrances.
How It Works: Allylic alcohol monoterpene provides fixative property in fragrance blends. good skin substantivity for lasting scent. softer, rounder rose note vs geraniol's fresher character. natural in rose otto at 18-34%.
Typically Found In: Rose perfumes,floral fragrances,luxury skincare
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component โ monoterpene alcohol
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.001%โ1%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from rose, geranium, citronella oils
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu cosmetics regulation: declared fragrance allergen. ifra guidelines apply.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Citronellol's r-enantiomer (natural) vs s-enantiomer (synthetic) provide meaningfully different scent character โ a remarkable demonstration of chiral scent discrimination by olfactory receptors. the (r) form provides the characteristic rose note while the (s) form has a distinctly different, less pleasant character. this enantiomeric scent difference means that the biological handedness of naturally-sourced vs racemic synthetic citronellol produces perceptibly different fragrance quality.

Cyclohexasiloxane
Common Name(s): D6,cyclomethicone d6,hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane
CAS Number: 540-97-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides volatile silicone delivery with longer contact time than d5 for extended active delivery.
Why It's Used: Longer-evaporation volatile silicone for formulations requiring extended delivery contact time vs d5's rapid evaporation.
How It Works: Larger ring (6 silicone units) provides lower vapor pressure than d5 (5 units). slower evaporation rate (2-3ร longer than d5) provides extended delivery window. same dry-touch after complete evaporation.
Typically Found In: Longer-duration volatile vehicles,serum formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ volatile cyclic silicone
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ30%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu restrictions on d5 do not apply to d6 โ d6 may be used in rinse-off products without restriction.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
The different evaporation rates of d4 (methylcyclosiloxane), d5, and d6 provide formulators with a toolkit of volatile silicone delivery windows: d4 evaporates in ~1 minute, d5 in ~5 minutes, d6 in ~15 minutes. blending these provides precisely tunable evaporation kinetics for specific delivery timing requirements.

Ethylparaben
Common Name(s): Cosmetic preservative,microbial growth inhibitor,product stability agent
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Prevents microbial contamination that would otherwise render water-containing cosmetics unsafe โ inhibiting bacterial, fungal, and yeast growth through membrane disruption, enzyme inhibition, or metabolic interference at permitted regulatory concentrations.
Why It's Used: Preservatives are safety-critical โ un-preserved water-containing cosmetics can develop dangerous microbial contamination (pseudomonas aeruginosa eye infections, s. aureus skin infections) within days. preservation is a regulatory requirement, not an optional enhancement.
How It Works: Mechanism varies by class: organic acids (benzoic, dehydroacetic) disrupt intracellular ph in bacteria and fungi by proton flux across membranes; parabens inhibit membrane-associated enzyme function; chlorhexidine disrupts bacterial and fungal membrane integrity through divalent ion chelation of membrane phospholipids.
Typically Found In: All aqueous formulations

Eugenol
Common Name(s): 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol,clove oil component,caryophyllene companion
CAS Number: 97-53-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides warm clove fragrance note with local anaesthetic and antimicrobial properties.
Why It's Used: Natural local anaesthetic fragrance โ eugenol provides clove's dual function as both a fragrance compound and a topical anaesthetic used in dentistry for pain relief.
How It Works: Activates trpv1 for local anaesthetic desensitisation (same mechanism as capsaicin but much weaker). inhibits cox and lox for anti-inflammatory activity. membrane disruption for antimicrobial activity. antioxidant via phenolic radical scavenging.
Typically Found In: Spice fragrances,dental products,clove-scented cosmetics

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Eugenol's dental anaesthetic use predates modern pharmaceutical dentistry โ oil of cloves (primarily eugenol) has been used for toothache relief for centuries. modern dentistry still uses eugenol in zinc oxide-eugenol cement for temporary cavity filling, where eugenol's trpv1 desensitisation provides pain relief while zinc oxide provides structural material โ a pharmaceutical application of a fragrance compound still standard in clinical dentistry.
