Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions exclusively as a fragrance component without therapeutic skin benefits, providing olfactory enhancement through volatile aromatic compounds that interact with olfactory receptors
Research
Clinical Evidence
Medium confidence0.0062%
Key findings
- 01 RIFM exposure assessment identifying 0.0062% as 95th percentile concentration in hydroalcoholic fragrance products
- 02 ECHA toxicity evaluation via read-across methodology establishing NOAEL values of 1000 mg/kg/day for developmental toxicity
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Used at extremely low concentrations (0.0062%) for fragrance purposes, making dusting unlikely and unnecessary
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Demonstrates exceptional stability in acidic environments, making it suitable for low-pH formulations and acid-stable delivery systems
Conflicts
- Volatile acids may compromise encapsulation efficiency in microencapsulated delivery systems
