2-FURYL METHYL KETONE.

Optional CAS 1192-62-7 / PERFUMING

2-Furyl methyl ketone is a fragrance component derived from furan chemistry that serves primarily as a perfuming agent in cosmetic formulations. While structurally related compounds have shown potential in depigmentation research, this ingredient's role in skincare remains limited to sensory enhancement. Safety assessments suggest low sensitization potential when used within recommended fragrance concentrations.
