Arôme chocolat (arôme naturel ou arôme - statut à confirmer selon réglementation EU 1334/2008)

Arôme chocolat is a cosmetic fragrance ingredient designed to impart the characteristic warm, sweet, and slightly bitter scent of chocolate to personal care formulations such as lip balms, body butters, and bath products. Its regulatory status under EU Regulation 1334/2008 requires clarification, as it may qualify as a 'natural flavouring' if derived from cocoa or cocoa processing by-products, or as a general 'flavouring' if it contains synthetic aroma compounds such as vanillin, ethyl vanillin, or cocoa pyrazines. Formulators choose this ingredient primarily for its strong consumer appeal and indulgent sensory experience, particularly in lip care and confectionery-inspired cosmetic lines.
