About Flavor
Natural cherry flavor and natural strawberry flavor are not single INCI-listed molecules but complex natural flavor blends typically carried in solvents such as medium chain triglycerides (MCT), triacetin, glycerin, ethanol, or propylene glycol. In cosmetics, such materials are declared generically as Flavor (for lip/oral care) or may be used as fragrance-type notes in leave-ons and rinse-offs. These blends deliver sweet, fruity cherry or strawberry aroma/taste notes for sensory enhancement. Actual compositions vary by supplier and may include natural flavor oils, extracts, and aroma compounds from natural sources.
Function: flavor, masking agent, fragrance note (for lip/oral care), sensory modifier
