METHYL METHYLCYCLOHEXENECARBOXYLATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 6493-80-7 / PERFUMING

METHYL METHYLCYCLOHEXENECARBOXYLATE is a synthetic compound primarily employed for its potential to impart a cooling sensation in personal care products. Although direct clinical research on its effects on human skin is limited, its structural properties suggest an interaction with the skin's thermoreceptors. It also frequently serves as a fragrance component in various cosmetic preparations.

Cooling Agent Fragrance

Science

Mechanism of Action

While specific dermatological studies for METHYL METHYLCYCLOHEXENECARBOXYLATE are currently unavailable, its proposed mechanism of action on the skin is extrapolated from related compounds. Analogous to Methyl cyclohexanecarboxylate, which exhibits a cooling characteristic at 20 ppm, this compound is hypothesized to interact directly with thermoreceptors within the skin. This interaction is believed to induce a perceived sensation of coolness, similar to the action of menthol-like derivatives.

Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

No specific safety assessment has been conducted for METHYL METHYLCYCLOHEXENECARBOXYLATE as a cosmetic ingredient by regulatory bodies such as CIR or SCCS. A chemically similar compound, Methyl cyclohexanecarboxylate, has been reviewed by JECFA for food use and deemed to have 'no safety concern at current levels of intake' in that context; however, this assessment does not directly apply to cosmetic topical application.
