Cananga Odorata Macrophylla Flower Extract

Cananga odorata macrophylla flower extract is derived from the flowers of a tropical plant species, processed to capture volatile aromatic compounds. It is used in cosmetics principally as a fragrance ingredient, contributing floral and woody notes to product scent profiles.This ingredient functions as a perfuming agent rather than as an active skincare component with established therapeutic claims. It appears in formulations across various skin types, typically at low concentrations to impart fragrance.

The extract contains volatile aromatic compounds that are perceived through olfactory receptors. As a fragrance ingredient, it does not exert direct physiological effects on skin but rather works through scent perception and the psychological associations linked to fragrance experience.

This ingredient is incorporated during formulation and requires no specific usage guidance beyond using the product as directed. If you are sensitive to fragrance, review the full ingredient list and consider fragrance-free alternatives if needed.

Generally well-tolerated at cosmetic concentrations. It is listed as a potential contact allergen in the EU, so individuals with fragrance sensitivity or known allergies should be cautious and perform a patch test if concerned.
