What it is & what it does
Linalool is a floral fragrance molecule naturally found in many essential oils.
WHAT IT IS: Linalool is a floral fragrance molecule naturally found in many essential oils.
HOW IT WORKS: It is used for scent, not skin treatment. Like limonene, its oxidized breakdown products are more likely to trigger fragrance allergy than freshly manufactured linalool.
WHY ITS ROLE MATTERS: Aromatic compounds are included to provide or modify a product's scent. Fragrance perception is part of the user experience, but these molecules are not proof of biological skincare performance. Some fragrant substances require separate allergen labeling under applicable market rules.
A REALISTIC EXPECTATION: The important distinction is fragrance function versus an active proven to change skin condition.
