Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Phytol is an organic compound found in some plants and microorganisms. Specifically, it is a terpenoid, a group of substances that play an important role in chemical communication between organisms. Phytol is found mainly in chloroplasts, where it is part of the chlorophyll molecule, a pigment responsible for trapping sunlight during photosynthesis. It is therefore a key component of this life-giving biochemical process.
In terms of its use in consumer products, Phytol finds its place primarily in perfumery and cosmetics. Thanks to its specific but pleasantly fresh scent, it is included in some perfumes and deodorants, but is also mentioned as an ingredient in some creams and shampoos. Interestingly, Phytol can also be found in some food products, specifically in some types of tea. This is due to the fact that Phytol is found in the plants that are used to prepare these beverages. Last but not least, Phytol is also valuable in medicine, where its possible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect is mainly studied.
