The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Maintains olfactory profile across typical personal care pH ranges and is compatible with alcohol- and oil-based systems. Formulators should consider preventing oxidation and thermal decomposition due to its very low water solubility (49.1 mg/L at 20°C).
Safety
Safety Profile
Classified as a slight skin and eye irritant, with potential for allergic skin reactions (GHS H315, H317). IFRA standards restrict its use, allowing up to 3.8% in fine fragrances but lower limits for other product types, such as 0.31% for body lotions.
