0.73%
Sensitization risk Moderate

The IFRA 51st Amendment restricts Dihydroeugenol to a maximum concentration of 0.73% in certain finished products due to dermal sensitization and systemic toxicity concerns. Raw material hazard statements indicate potential for skin irritation and allergic skin reactions, despite some sources suggesting low sensitization risk at typical usage levels.
