Safety Profile

CIR Status

18%
Sensitization risk High

The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) restricts its use across various cosmetic product categories due to a significant potential for dermal sensitization. While specific cosmetic categories (e.g., 10A, 10B) may permit concentrations up to 18%, this substance is classified by ECHA and GHS as a potential skin irritant and allergen, capable of causing serious eye irritation. The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) assesses it as safe under their specified conditions, noting a No Expected Sensitization Induction Level (NESIL) of 5900 μg/cm² for skin sensitization, yet the overall consensus points to a considerable risk profile.
