Butylphenyl Methylpropional (Lilial/BMHCA) is a fragrance ingredient, not a skincare active.
It is prohibited in cosmetic products in the European Union from 1 March 2022 following its CMR classification and safety concerns. If this INCI is still present in a current formula, it deserves a formulation/regulatory review rather than consumer-benefit marketing.
Usage & cautions
This ingredient should be reviewed before any EU-market cosmetic use.
Information approach
Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
