Functions
Perfuming
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Traditional Use
Found naturally in tonka beans, vanilla, and other plants, coumarin has been used in traditional perfumery and folk medicine for centuries. First isolated in the 19th century and later synthetically produced; historically valued for its sweet vanilla-like aroma in perfumed cosmetics.
