Cinnamal (chemical name: cinnamaldehyde) is widely used in cosmetic products. Cinnamal is a chemical fragrance that also serves as a denaturant. Cinnamal is mainly used in products containing alcohol to make the alcohol (ethanol) undrinkable. When denatured alcohol is used, the term "alcohol denat" appears in the INCI list. Alternatively, cinnamal is also used in cosmetics to mask unwanted odors.
