CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

Generally considered to have low systemic toxicity, DIMETHYLBENZYL CARBINYL ACETATE is classified as a skin and eye irritant, necessitating protective measures during handling. It has the potential to cause skin irritation and/or dermatitis. Furthermore, it is a recognized fragrance allergen, with EU Cosmetics Regulation No. 1223/2009 Annex III mandating its reporting in cosmetic products if concentrations exceed 0.001% in leave-on products or 0.01% in rinse-off products. While it holds FEMA GRAS status for flavor applications, its dermal safety profile indicates a moderate risk of sensitivity for topical use.
