About this ingredient
Trimethylbenzenepropanol is a synthetic active for sensitive skin. INCI: Trimethylbenzenepropanol. In a formula it works as a soothing agent: it is linked to reduced redness and discomfort, so it appears in products for reactive and rosacea-prone skin, and it sometimes also supports formula preservation. Its action is mild and the independent topical evidence is modest, so it is a supporting component rather than a potent active. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
