Formulation
Stability
Dipteryx Odorata absolute can solidify or crystallize at room temperature, requiring gentle warming (e.g., to 30-40 °C) for re-liquefaction and easier incorporation. Due to its tenacious scent, pre-dilution is often recommended to prevent it from overpowering other materials in a composition.
Safety
Safety Profile
Specific safety assessments by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel or the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) for Dipteryx Odorata Bean Extract are not readily available or have been described as inadequate. While EWG Skin Deep assigns a 'LOW' hazard score for cancer, allergies & immunotoxicity, and developmental and reproductive toxicity, it crucially notes 'low data availability'. General safety information for Tonka bean oleoresin (containing the extract) indicates it is harmful if swallowed and advises avoiding contact with skin and eyes.
