Research
Clinical Evidence
Medium confidenceN/A
Key findings
- 01 Demonstrated non-genotoxic properties in bacterial reverse mutation assays per OECD guidelines

The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Maintains stability under standard temperature and pressure conditions but requires protection from heat and light exposure due to combustible properties (flash point approximately 66°C)
Synergies
- other fragrance components
- dipropylene glycol
Conflicts
- strong oxidizing agents
