4-thujanol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

4-Thujanol is a monoterpene secondary alcohol found in the essential oils of plants such as Thuja occidentalis. It is listed as a potential fragrance allergen under EU Cosmetics Regulation Annex III. Like other monoterpene alcohols, it may oxidise on air exposure to form sensitisers, and its use is restricted in leave-on cosmetic products.
