Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions through dual pathways: provides olfactory benefits via its volatile aromatic properties, while simultaneously forming a light protective film on the skin surface that helps reduce transepidermal water loss and delivers mild emollient conditioning effects.
Research
Clinical Evidence
Medium confidenceN/A
Key findings
- 01 RIFM safety assessment demonstrated non-mutagenic properties in bacterial reverse mutation assays up to 5000 μg/plate
- 02 In vitro micronucleus testing at 350 μg/mL showed statistically insignificant genotoxic effects within normal control parameters

Dusting Analysis
Primarily used as a functional fragrance ingredient rather than an active component, making dusting practices uncommon in this category
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Exhibits good stability under standard storage conditions but requires cool, dark storage below 15°C for optimal preservation. As an ester compound, susceptible to hydrolytic degradation in extreme pH environments.
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
Safety
Safety Profile
Safety profile established through RIFM and IFRA assessments. IFRA Amendment 49 permits concentrations up to 2.5% in specific product categories. Demonstrates non-mutagenic and non-clastogenic characteristics in standard toxicology panels.
