Aroma chemical. A single scent note rather than a whole essential oil.
- What it does
- Scent, Emollient & barrier
- Scope
- A label cannot tell you whether this was extracted from a plant or built in a lab, because the molecule is identical either way. Seeing it named is a disclosure rather than a warning: it is what an honestly labelled, essential-oil-scented product looks like, and the EU requires it to be named precisely so that the minority of people who react to it can avoid it.
Every other ingredient, with the same treatment.
