2-METHYLBENZOXAZOLE.

Insufficient Data CAS 95-21-6 / PERFUMING

A benzoxazole derivative primarily utilized as a fragrance component in cosmetic formulations. While structurally related compounds show potential for tyrosinase inhibition, this specific molecule lacks dedicated clinical research for skincare applications. Its primary role remains as a perfuming agent with limited therapeutic validation.
