What it is

In the register’s words: “Jasminum Officinale Flower Extract is an extract of the flowers of the Jasmine, Jasminum officinale L., Oleaceae.”

EU register name (INCI)
JASMINUM OFFICINALE FLOWER EXTRACT
CAS number
90045-94-6
EC number
289-960-1

Labels often add a second name in brackets, so a label may say Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Flower Extract where the register says JASMINUM OFFICINALE FLOWER EXTRACT. Both are the same ingredient.

What the register lists it for

These are the uses the European Commission’s CosIng register lists for Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Flower Extract in any cosmetic, hair roles first. They say why a maker might add it, not what it does in one formula, and they aren’t a safety rating.

Fragrance

Gives the product its smell or covers an unpleasant one. A label may name each scent ingredient or group them as Fragrance (Parfum).

Register definition: “Imparting an odour or taste. Creating a perceivable pleasant smell and/or masking a bad smell.”

Perfuming

Used as a perfume or scent material. Essential oils and their scent compounds, such as linalool and limonene, carry this role.

Register definition: “Used for perfume and aromatic raw materials.”

Where it sits on each label

US labels list ingredients from most to least, except that those at 1% or less may follow in any order. A name near the top is a large part of the formula. A label doesn’t mark where the 1% point falls, so further down, the order says little about how much is in it.

Every label, product by product (2)

Each line runs from the first name on a label to the last; a dot is where this ingredient sits. Makers change formulas now and then; if the list on your bottle differs, go by your bottle.
