Nerol (CAS No.106-25-2, EC No.203-378-7, INCI: Nerol) is a ingredient listed in the Cosing, with the function: Perfuming. It is also a component that occurs naturally in many essential oils.
The substance is not currently regulated under European Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, nor is it listed in Annex VI of European CLP Regulation 1272/2008.

Denmark intends to propose a CLH classification for Nerol for its reproductive toxicity.

If the process is completed, Nerol could be classified as a reprotoxic and therefore a CMR, and its use could be banned in cosmetic products in Europe, unless the ban is waived following an opinion from the SCCS.
