Stability
The trans isomer of 2-tert-butylcyclohexanol is inherently more stable than its cis counterpart. This increased stability is attributed to the spatial arrangement of its bulky tert-butyl groups.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not assessed TRANS-2-TERT-BUTYLCYCLOHEXANOL. The broader compound, 2-tert-butylcyclohexanol (a mixture of cis- and trans- isomers), is listed by precisionFDA and has been reported to cause serious eye irritation (H319). A RIFM safety assessment for the mixed isomers indicated no concern for genetic toxicity.

Verdict
With no identified clinical efficacy data for skin benefits and a reported potential for serious eye irritation, the inclusion of TRANS-2-TERT-BUTYLCYCLOHEXANOL in precision skincare formulations requires further investigation.
