Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has identified 'insufficient data' for a comprehensive safety assessment for general cosmetic use, largely due to the ingredient being chemically undefined. Specific toxicity assessments (oral, parenteral, dermal, inhalation) are 'Not determined', and no GHS hazard classifications were found. However, initial assessments suggest low irritancy.
