Safety Profile
The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Code of Practice recommends usage levels of Isoamyl Geranate up to 8.0000% in the fragrance concentrate. Dermal toxicity studies in rabbits indicated a low acute dermal toxicity (LD50 > 5000 mg/kg). However, specific Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) reports for comprehensive safety assessments, including sensitization potential on human skin, were not identified.
