Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Mid risk

FunctionFragrance Allergen

What it is — Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone (INCI of the same name), a synthetic fragrance ingredient with a soft, floral-violet, musky scent.

What it does — It is commonly used to contribute to a product's fragrance and overall scent profile rather than to condition the skin.

Typical use — Found in perfumed products such as creams, cleansers, shampoos and body care where a fragrance is part of the experience.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for those who enjoy scented products; fragrance-sensitive users may prefer to avoid it, and it must be declared on the label in the EU.

Safety — Rated mid risk because it is an EU-listed fragrance allergen that can cause reactions in some people. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if you are sensitive to fragrance.
