In personal care
An aromatic compound found naturally in clove, nutmeg, and ylang-ylang oils, also produced synthetically for fragrance use.
Why it’s used
It provides a warm, spicy, clove-like note and is used widely in perfume compositions.
What the evidence says
The EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety classifies isoeugenol among the established fragrance allergens, with documented cases of allergic contact dermatitis linked to its use.
Context
Because of this, EU regulation requires isoeugenol to be listed by name on cosmetic labels when it exceeds set concentration thresholds in leave-on and rinse-off products.
