TRANS-ROSE KETONE-2.

Questionable CAS 23726-91-2 / PERFUMING

Trans-Rose Ketone-2 is a synthetic aromatic compound meticulously crafted to replicate the sophisticated and intense rose scent found in natural rose oils. Its primary application in cosmetics is to impart a desirable fragrance to products and to the skin itself.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a fragrance ingredient, Trans-Rose Ketone-2 functions by delivering an aromatic profile that mimics natural rose. It interacts with olfactory receptors to create a perception of scent, purely for enhancing product appeal and providing a sensory experience, without any direct physiological action on the skin itself.

TRANS-ROSE KETONE-2 (trans-beta-Damascone) is subject to restrictions by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) of the EU Commission and is listed in Annex III of the EC Cosmetics Regulation. Its use is considered safe when conditions in Annex III are met. As part of the damascone group, it is limited to a cumulative maximum concentration of 0.02% in certain cosmetic types due to skin sensitization concerns. There are further considerations regarding potential genotoxicity due to activated carbon-carbon double bonds in its chemical structure, leading to moderate concern for allergies and immunotoxicity, and high use restrictions.
