Safety Profile
The RIFM fragrance ingredient safety assessment supports Decanenitrile's use at concentrations up to 0.09% in fragrance concentrates, deeming it 'Not Restricted' within this limit. Comprehensive evaluations for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, and skin sensitization indicate exposure levels are below thresholds of concern, suggesting a low risk for skin sensitization. It is listed on the US Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory.
