Safety Profile
The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) has concluded that DIMETHYLCYCLOHEXYL METHYL KETONE does not present a concern for skin sensitization when used at current, declared levels in cosmetic products. The calculated total systemic exposure of 1.1 μg/kg/day remains significantly below the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) of 30 μg/kg/day. However, in its concentrated, raw form, it is classified as an irritant to both skin and eyes.
