Safety
Safety Profile
This ingredient has not been reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). While U.S. cosmetic ingredients generally do not require pre-market FDA approval, caution is advised. It may induce irritation to the skin and eyes; thus, protective measures such as gloves and goggles are recommended during handling. Acute dermal toxicity studies in rabbits indicated a low toxicity with an LD50 exceeding 5000 mg/kg. The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Code of Practice suggests a maximum usage level of 2.0000% in a fragrance concentrate, which applies to fragrance compositions rather than final product formulation.
