Amyl Cinnamyl Alcohol is an aromatic chemical element that is used in the cosmetic industry as an ingredient in perfume for its specific scent. This element is also known by the names alpha-amyl cinnamic alcohol, 2-Benzylideneheptan-1-ol, n-amyl cinnamic alcohol or simply amyl cinnamic alcohol. It is a white solid with a floral scent that has a high melting point. Chemically, it is an alcohol, which means it has an -OH group. Its molecular formula is C16H22O.
Amyl Cinnamyl Alcohol is added to many cosmetic products and perfumes to give them a specific, fresh and floral scent. These products include skin creams, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, beverages and various household cleaning products. Because it can cause allergic reactions in some people, it is important that its content in products is properly labeled. Despite its widespread use in the cosmetics industry, some studies suggest that Amyl Cinnamyl Alcohol may have a negative effect on the reproductive system. However, this claim is not yet definitively proven and requires further study.
