You would like to determine Eugenol (CAS No. 97-53-0) content in your cosmetic products measured according to current regulations
Controlling a regulated allergen, ensuring the safety of your formulations
Naturally present in certain essential oils, eugenol is widely used in cosmetics for its fragrance properties. However, it is also a regulated allergen, subject to strict labeling and control requirements.
At Filab Laboratory, we support Cosmetic manufacturers in the precise and reliable measurement of eugenol at every stage of the product lifecycle: development, market launch, quality control, and non-conformity management.

FILAB meets your needs for Eugenol (CAS No. 97-53-0) determination
Why measure eugenol?
Eugenol dosage addresses several key issues:
- Regulatory compliance (Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009)
- Compliance with allergen labeling thresholds
- Consumer safety and reduced allergy risk
- Control of natural raw materials (variability of essential oils)
- Quality control of finished products and production batches
Inaccurate or poorly controlled dosage can lead to labeling errors, product recalls, or significant reputational damage.

FAQ
Eugenol is a natural aromatic compound found in certain essential oils, notably clove. It is used in cosmetics and perfumery for its characteristic spicy scent.
Classified as a skin allergen, it is strictly regulated: above certain thresholds, its presence must be declared and controlled. Its natural variability therefore necessitates precise dosing to guarantee product compliance and consumer safety.
Eugenol is a potent skin allergen (sensitizer). At high doses, it can cause contact dermatitis or irritation. Regulations aim to limit the risk of sensitizing the general population while informing those already allergic of its presence.
Yes, the limits depend on the product category (IFRA 51 standards, in effect since the end of 2025):
- Face/hand products: approximately 0.5%.
- Deodorants: stricter limit, around 0.2%.
- Rinse-off products (soaps): can go up to 2.5% or even more depending on the category, because the contact time is short.
- Oral hygiene products: The dosage is unrestricted as long as safety is demonstrated by a toxicologist, but it is often limited to avoid undesirable local anesthesia of the mucous membranes.
Natural raw materials exhibit significant variability in composition. Testing allows for batch conformity verification, anticipation of regulatory exceedances, and secure labeling.
It is found in perfumes, creams, lotions, soaps, shampoos and more broadly in products containing essential oils or plant extracts.
