Fragrance allergens › Salicylaldehyde

Salicylaldehyde

Salicylaldehyde (CAS 90-02-8) is one of the fragrance allergens the European Union requires to be named on a label once it passes a threshold. It is rarely something you added on purpose: 1 material in this catalog carries it as a constituent, which is how a formula ends up over the line without a single line item admitting to it.

What Salicylaldehyde smells like

Medicinal phenolic bite with spicy cinnamon and a cooling wintergreen lift, sharper and far more austere than benzaldehyde. Traces give fougere, hay and heliotrope accords an antiseptic edge; overdose reads as disinfectant.

It is a material in its own right, not only a line on a label: its catalog page carries the full profile.

Estimates from typical published compositions, not a certificate of analysis for your bottle. A supplier's own figures always win.

PerfuMate totals these across a whole formula while you compose, counting the same molecule arriving from several materials at once, and writes the declaration for the back of the bottle. Start a formula, free. No account needed.
