Farnesol
A naturally-occurring fragrance compound used for a soft, floral scent; a labeled allergen.
What it does
Farnesol is a sesquiterpene alcohol found in many flowers, with a soft, sweet, floral scent, sometimes also used to support fragrance preservation. It is one of the fragrance compounds the EU requires to be labeled because it can cause allergic reactions in some people. It is a scent ingredient rather than a skin active.
