Safety Profile
The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) has determined this ingredient, including closely related compounds like 1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,7-Octahydro-2,5,5-trimethyl-2-naphthalenol, to be safe under current use levels. Comprehensive safety assessments evaluated genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity, skin sensitization, and environmental impact. Findings indicate it is not genotoxic and presents a low risk for skin sensitization. However, GHS classification for related compounds such as 1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,7-Octahydro-2,5,5-trimethyl-2-naphthalenol and Octahydro-2,5,5-trimethyl-2-naphthol (CAS 71832-76-3) notes 'Causes skin irritation' (H315).
