FURFURYL VALERATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 36701-01-6 / PERFUMING

FURFURYL VALERATE is a furfuryl derivative, also known as ALPHA-FURFURYL PENTANOATE. While its specific skin applications are not extensively documented, related compounds in this chemical class are recognized for their antioxidant properties. This suggests a potential role in mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation within the skin.

Summary

Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory (potential)

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a member of the furfuryl derivative family, FURFURYL VALERATE is theorized to function as an antioxidant. Studies on similar compounds, such as furfuryl palmitate, highlight their potent ability to quench singlet oxygen (1O2), a highly reactive oxygen species. This action is believed to contribute to anti-inflammatory effects and alleviation of symptoms in conditions like atopic and irritant dermatitis; however, the precise mechanism of FURFURYL VALERATE specifically on skin has not been explicitly detailed in available research.

FURFURYL VALERATE (ALPHA-FURFURYL PENTANOATE) has not been reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) for cosmetic use. While the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) established a group Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 0-0.5 mg/kg body weight for furfuryl pentanoate and related derivatives, concluding 'no safety concern at current levels of intake when used as a flavouring agent' in food, this assessment is specific to food use and does not encompass cosmetic safety.
