Butylphenyl Methylpropional (Lilial) Analysis

Butylphenyl Methylpropional, also known as Lilial, is a synthetic fragrance ingredient commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is especially preferred for imitating floral scents. Lilial is used in perfumes, shampoos, shower gels, soaps, lotions and many other products.

However, there are some concerns about the use of Lilial:

1. *Allergenic Potential:* May cause allergic reactions in some people. Therefore, in many countries, the presence of this compound is required to be indicated on product labels.

2. *Reproductive Toxicity:* Some studies have suggested that Lilial may cause reproductive toxicity. Therefore, in 2020, the European Union banned the use of Lilial in cosmetic products.

It is important that users make a safe product selection by checking the ingredients of the products and consciously against potential allergens or toxic substances. If a person knows they have a sensitivity to Lilial or other potential allergens, they should avoid using products containing such ingredients.
