Dusting Analysis
As a fragrance component, this ingredient is not categorized as an active, and therefore the concept of 'dusting'—using a sub-therapeutic dose of a performance ingredient—does not apply.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly stable when stored in cool, dark environments; sensitive to degradation if exposed to prolonged heat or direct UV light.
Safety
Safety Profile
While a 12% limit is suggested for fragrance concentrates, the concentration in finished skincare is significantly lower. Dermal toxicity is low, with an LD50 in rabbit studies exceeding 5000 mg/kg.
