While Jasminum Sambac Flower Wax itself is not expected to cause skin sensitization, it contains trace amounts of essential oils. The parent flower contains volatile fragrance components like linalool and geraniol, and jasmine oil may cause mild allergic reactions in some individuals due to compounds like benzyl acetate. No specific CIR, SCCS, or FDA review status is available for the wax, but related extracts and essential oils are generally considered safe for cosmetic and food use. It exhibits a low comedogenic profile.
