Isojasmone is a synthetic jasmine-type fragrance molecule used at trace levels in cosmetics. It can irritate the airways in concentrated form, and like other fragrance materials it carries a low but real risk of skin sensitisation.
Skin benefits
- Provides a warm floral jasmine note in fragrance compositions
- Used at low levels (well below 1%) so systemic exposure is small
Known concerns
- Can cause respiratory irritation (GHS H335)
- Fragrance ingredient with potential for skin sensitisation in susceptible users
- Subject to IFRA category restrictions on use level
- Not declared individually on most ingredient lists
