Effect & Use of Eugenol
Eugenol has a distinctive, pleasant, and spicy scent. It is the compound responsible for the characteristic aroma of cloves and is also found in cinnamon essential oil. Eugenol is widely used as a fragrance and flavoring agent in various products. Additionally, it has analgesic (pain-relieving) and antibacterial properties. In massage oil, eugenol can provide both a warm, aromatic experience and beneficial effects on the skin.
Allergic Reactions
Eugenol is listed among fragrance substances that may cause allergic reactions. If a product contains a concentration above a certain threshold, European regulations require this to be indicated on the label.
