About 6-Methyl Coumarin
6-Methyl Coumarin is a fragrance ingredient used to add or adjust a product’s scent or taste.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to keep the characteristic smell or taste of raw materials from being overly noticeable and to help maintain clean, pleasant teeth and oral conditions.[1] In Korea, it is classified as an ingredient that cannot be used in cosmetics.[2] In Europe, it may be used in finished cosmetic products at up to 0.003% in oral-care products.[3]
