Sclareolide is an aromatic compound derived from clary sage (Salvia sclarea). Its INCI name is Sclareolide. In cosmetics it is used mostly as a fragrance component, adding nuance to the product's scent profile. This is a functional fragrance ingredient, not a skincare active. It does not act on the skin; its role is sensory. So no corrective effect should be expected from it. Applied topically at cosmetic levels it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Its irritation potential is low, but the allergy risk is medium: as with fragrance components, people who are already sensitized may develop a contact reaction. Most people have no reaction, but anyone with skin that reacts to perfumes should keep this in mind.
