Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

2-carenyl Methyl Ketone is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This carene-derived ketone is used as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetic formulations. The 2-carene backbone structure presents mild sensitizing potential under EU scientific committee evaluation. It is not listed in any Annex of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, but IFRA has issued usage guidelines due to its structural relationship to known sensitizers in the terpenic class.

Known concerns

  • Structural relationship to known fragrance sensitizers (carene derivatives)
  • Oxidation products may increase sensitization risk
