Benzyl Cinnamate in Cosmetics: Safety, Regulation, and Procurement
The utilization of Benzyl Cinnamate (CAS 103-41-3) in cosmetic and personal care products is well-established, owing to its pleasing fragrance and functional properties. However, like many cosmetic ingredients, its use is subject to safety evaluations and regulatory guidelines. As a responsible manufacturer and supplier, we believe in transparency regarding these aspects for our clients.
The safety of Benzyl Cinnamate for cosmetic use has been assessed by industry experts. The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) Expert Panel has evaluated its safety, leading to the establishment of International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Standards. These standards may restrict its usage levels in certain product categories due to potential skin sensitization. For cosmetic formulators, adhering to these IFRA guidelines is crucial when purchasing and incorporating Benzyl Cinnamate into their products. We ensure our Benzyl Cinnamate is produced to meet these quality and safety expectations.
In Europe, Benzyl Cinnamate is listed as an 'allergenic' substance, requiring its presence to be declared on product labels if it exceeds specific concentration thresholds (0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products). This regulation ensures consumer transparency, allowing individuals with sensitivities to make informed choices. Understanding these labeling requirements is part of responsible product development when you buy Benzyl Cinnamate.
Beyond its fragrance applications, Benzyl Cinnamate also functions as a UV absorber, a critical role in sunscreens and protective cosmetics. Its efficacy in absorbing UV light at 310nm makes it a valuable ingredient for broad-spectrum protection. For businesses sourcing this compound, partnering with a reputable Chinese manufacturer like ourselves ensures a reliable supply chain. We encourage formulators to inquire about our Benzyl Cinnamate, discussing pricing and product specifications to confirm its suitability for their specific product needs and regulatory compliance. Our goal is to be your trusted supplier for high-quality cosmetic ingredients.
