Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not conducted a safety assessment for Dimethylcyclohexenyl 3-butenyl ketone. Independent analyses indicate a low concern for cancer and developmental/reproductive toxicity, but a moderate concern for allergies and immunotoxicity. The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) has identified this ingredient as a potential human toxicant or allergen, reflecting the known tendency of fragrance compounds to cause skin irritation and allergic sensitization.
