Often sold as Delphone, this jasmine-pear fragrance molecule adds diffusive top notes. IFRA restricts its use, and like most fragrance ingredients it provides scent rather than direct skincare benefit.

Skin benefits

  • Fruity, jasmine and pear-style fragrance ingredient
  • Commonly used to add diffusive top notes
  • Stable in a wide pH range

Known concerns

  • Under IFRA guidance for sensitization and use level limits
  • Fragrance allergen labelling may be required above thresholds

  • Possible eye and mucous membrane irritation undiluted
