Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed 1-Decene as a standalone cosmetic ingredient, concluding 'insufficient data' for its individual safety profile. However, 'Decene/Butene Copolymer' was deemed safe. 1-Decene is categorized with hazard warnings for flammability (H226), potential fatality if swallowed (H304), and high toxicity to aquatic life (H410). It is described as a moderate to severe skin irritant, capable of defatting the skin, and an irritant to both the eyes and respiratory tract. Inhalation of elevated concentrations may lead to central nervous system depression.

Verdict
Decene is not recommended for precision skincare due to insufficient independent safety data, its classification as a moderate to severe skin irritant, and significant handling precautions required for its flammable nature.
