Safety
Safety Profile
While older European safety information historically listed Isolongifolene Epoxide as an irritant (R 36/38 - irritating to skin and eyes), aggregated GHS information from 114 companies indicates it currently does not meet GHS hazard criteria. However, a comprehensive safety assessment by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not yet been conducted.
