Our Assessment

Verdict

Questionable

While deemed safe for use in fragrances and stable across a range of pH, Homolinalyl Acetate is a perfuming agent with no documented skin benefits and a noted medium irritancy and sensitization risk, making its application in precision skincare without specific justification questionable.
