Safety Profile
D-Bornyl Isovalerate has not undergone a specific review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) expert panel. However, the related compound Bornyl isovalerate is recognized by the FDA as a flavoring agent. Aggregated company reports indicate it does not meet GHS hazard criteria. A human patch test using a 4% solution demonstrated no irritation or sensitization. Usage levels up to 20% in fragrance concentrates have been recommended for the (-)-bornyl isovalerate isomer.
