LAVANDULA HYBRIDA EXTRACT ACETYLATED.

Questionable CAS 92502-71-1 / PERFUMING

LAVANDULA HYBRIDA EXTRACT ACETYLATED is a chemically modified derivative of Lavandula hybrida (lavandin) extract, potentially designed for improved stability in cosmetic formulations. While often utilized for its aromatic properties, it is hypothesized to retain some of the parent extract's beneficial attributes, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.

Summary

Fragrance Anti-inflammatory Antioxidant Antibacterial Soothing Moisturizing Sebum Regulating Astringent Skin Healing Skin Regeneration

Science

Mechanism of Action

This acetylated extract is believed to operate through mechanisms similar to those of lavandin and lavender essential oils, primarily via constituents like linalool and linalyl acetate. These compounds are recognized for their capacity to mitigate inflammation, provide antioxidant defense, and exhibit antibacterial action, potentially benefiting problematic skin. Additionally, it may contribute to skin soothing, moisturization, sebum regulation for oily complexions, and support general skin healing and regeneration.

Stability

Specific stability data for the acetylated extract, including optimal pH, is not extensively documented. However, its components, similar to essential oils, can undergo autoxidation upon air exposure, potentially yielding strong contact allergens. While acetylation may confer enhanced stability, precise data confirming this for this specific ingredient is not available.

Conflicts

  • Components can form potent contact allergens through air exposure, suggesting potential incompatibility for individuals with sensitive skin or allergy predispositions.
  • May cause serious eye irritation.

Not reviewed
Sensitization risk High

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically evaluated LAVANDULA HYBRIDA EXTRACT ACETYLATED. Classifications for 'Lavender, Lavandula hybrida, ext.' by ECHA indicate it may cause serious eye irritation and allergic skin reactions. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) assigns a 'HIGH' rating for Allergies & Immunotoxicity. Key components found in related lavender essential oils, such as linalool and linalyl acetate, are known to autoxidize and become strong contact allergens, posing a significant sensitization risk.

Verdict

Questionable

Despite potential benefits derived from its parent compound, the high irritancy and sensitization risk, coupled with a lack of specific clinical efficacy data for the acetylated form, render this ingredient questionable for precision skincare.
