Safety Profile
The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) has identified potential risks including dermal sensitization and systemic toxicity. Consequently, IFRA mandates specific usage restrictions across product categories. For leave-on face and body moisturizers, the maximum permitted concentration is 0.26%. For body lotions, this limit is 0.52%, and for baby products (creams, oils, talc), it is restricted to 0.086%. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not yet evaluated this ingredient.

Verdict
While offering a pleasant floral scent, its classification as a fragrance with documented dermal sensitization potential and unreviewed CIR status makes its inclusion in precision skincare questionable for all skin types.
