Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has designated the safety status of Glucoheptonic Acid as 'insufficient data' for cosmetic use. This assessment largely stems from a lack of reported cosmetic applications for its lactone form, Glucoheptonolactone, precluding a comprehensive safety evaluation within a skincare context. Consequently, no specific maximum safe use concentration has been established.
