Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed Corylus Avellana Ethyl Ester. Assessments for related hazelnut derivatives (Seed Oil, Seed Extract, Leaf Extract) concluded 'insufficient data' to support their safety, citing a lack of irritation, sensitization, and photosensitization data. Potential aflatoxin contamination was noted for raw hazelnuts. The FDA mandates labeling for food products containing hazelnuts due to known allergen risks. Given the absence of specific safety data for the ester, its sensitization potential in cosmetic applications remains unknown.
