The Formula
Formulation
Stability
For optimal preservation, store in a cool, dry environment in tightly sealed containers, shielded from exposure to heat and light. It exhibits solubility in alcohol, is sparingly soluble in water (approximately 17.74 mg/L at 25 °C), and is generally considered insoluble in water for practical formulation purposes.
Safety
Safety Profile
Recommended usage levels are observed up to 3.0000% when incorporated into fragrance concentrates. Dermal toxicity studies on rabbits indicate an LD50 greater than 5000 mg/kg, suggesting low toxicity via skin contact. Overall, it exhibits low toxicity through both ingestion and skin contact. However, its safety profile has not been reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR).

Verdict
While Dimethylbenzyl Carbinyl Propionate offers a desirable floral and fruity aroma, its unreviewed safety status by the CIR and absence of known skin benefits make its inclusion questionable for precision skincare formulations.
