4-T-Butylcyclohexanol (Ingredient Explained + Products)

Fragrances are the ingredients in your skincare that either neutralize bad scents or are used to make a product smell good. Fragrances come in 3 forms: synthetic, natural, or essential oils.

These ingredients are commonly used to help calm visible redness and soothe irritated skin. While they can be effective for many people, results can vary depending on the cause of redness and individual skin sensitivity. If redness persists or worsens, it’s best to check with a dermatologist.

These ingredients are often used to help reduce irritation and support the skin barrier. They can be especially helpful for soothing sensitive or reactive skin, but how well they work can vary from person to person.

4-T-Butylcyclohexanol has skin soothing and perfuming/masking properties.

A study from 2016 found it to have skin-soothing properties both in-vivo and in-vitro. It works by intercepting the signals of irritation and can soothe the skin in a few minutes.

According to a manufacturer, this ingredient has a scent similar to musk or patchouli. Besides having a skin soothing effect, it can also help cover other unpleasant scents as a masking ingredient.
