Science
Mechanism of Action
Functioning largely as a perfuming agent, Cyclohexylpropanol imparts fragrance to cosmetic preparations. Beyond its aromatic contribution, it facilitates the dissolution of other components within a formulation and can offer softening and smoothing benefits to the skin as an emollient.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed Cyclohexylpropanol, nor has the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) published an opinion. Under U.S. law, cosmetic ingredients, excluding color additives, do not require FDA approval prior to market entry, and Cyclohexylpropanol is not on FDA's prohibited or restricted lists. GHS classification reports for 2-Cyclohexylpropanol (CAS 5442-00-2) indicate it does not meet hazard criteria in 98.9% of reports, with no GHS hazards found for 3-Cyclohexyl-1-propanol (CAS 1124-63-6). The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) recommends usage levels up to 20.0000% in fragrance concentrates.
