Safety Profile

Sensitization risk High

While JECFA concluded no safety concern at typical intake levels when used as a flavoring agent (2002), European classifications designate Ethyl Cyclohexyl Propionate as an irritant (Xi), specifically stating it is 'Irritating to skin' (R 38) and advising to 'Avoid contact with skin' (S 24). It is also noted as toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H411). FDA lists it under PART 172.515 as a synthetic flavoring substance and adjuvant, though some sources suggest FDA no longer provides for the use of certain synthetic flavoring substances in this category.

Verdict

Avoid

Given its classification as a skin irritant (R 38) and the explicit recommendation to avoid skin contact (S 24), Ethyl Cyclohexyl Propionate is unsuitable for inclusion in Moumoujus's precision skincare formulations.
