Suitability
Context-specific fit derived from published classifications and the current ingredient evidence profile.
Good fit

Not a strong fit for fragrance avoidance because it carries Fragrance.
The ingredient itself is a fragrance-linked signal, so it is better treated as an avoid case when fragrance exposure is the main concern.
Evidence
No graded sources yet for Benzaldehyde. We publish evidence only once a source is linked and reviewed — this ingredient is in the catalog, but has not been assessed.
