Safety Profile
Direct safety assessments by CIR, SCCS, or FDA for CYCLOPENTANONE TERT-BUTYLETHYLENE GLYCOL CYCLIC ACETAL are unavailable. Nevertheless, the Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety (RIFM) has evaluated the broader chemical class of 'cyclopentanones and cyclopentenones' used as fragrance ingredients. This assessment concluded that these related materials are safe at reported usage and exposure levels, demonstrating minimal evidence of skin irritation and a generally low risk of sensitization.
