Vanillin

What it is  
Vanillin is a naturally inspired compound that provides a soft, familiar vanilla note. In cosmetic formulations, it is used at very low levels.

Why we use it  
In lip products, vanillin helps enhance the overall sensory experience without relying on complex fragrance blends. It contributes to a subtle, comforting finish.

Why it’s considered safe  
- Used at very low concentrations  
- Well tolerated in lip and cosmetic formulations  
- Evaluated for safety by global cosmetic regulatory authorities  

Good to know  
Vanillin is not the same as “fragrance.” It is a single, well-understood ingredient, not a blend of undisclosed components. It is commonly used in products designed for comfort and gentle sensory appeal.
