Dusting Analysis
As a fragrance component, this ingredient is typically used at very low concentrations to achieve a desired scent profile; it is not a performance active subject to 'label dusting' for marketing efficacy.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly sensitive to environmental degradation; must be stored below 25°C and shielded from light, heat, and oxygen. The addition of 0.5% alpha-Tocopherol is technically recommended to prevent oxidation.

Safety
Safety Profile
Classified with H315 (skin irritation) and H317 (allergic skin reaction) risks. While the No Expected Sensitization Induction Level (NESIL) is established at 1700 μg/cm², its potential for serious eye damage (H318) requires careful handling in formulation.
