Pharmacological action

Isopulegol is a fragrance ingredient used in decorative cosmetics, fine fragrances, shampoos, toilet soaps and other toiletries as well as in non-cosmetic products such as household cleaners and detergents

Iisopulegol presented depressant- and anxiolytic-like effects. isopulegol was determined to be non-mutagenic and it does not present a concern for genotoxic potential

isopulegol was considered not clastogenic in the in vitro micronucleus assay

Usopulegol does not present a concern for skin sensitization and phototoxicity or photoallergenicity. Isopulegol was identified as a fragrance material with the potential to present a possible risk to the aquatic environment isopulegol does present a risk to the aquatic compartment in the screening level assessment.
