Stability
The ingredient demonstrates solubility in alcohol but is insoluble in water, which may necessitate specific solvent systems or formulation techniques to integrate it effectively without aesthetic or stability issues.
Safety
Safety Profile
The CIR Expert Panel found insufficient data for the safety determination of Juniperus Virginiana Wood Extract, a related compound. The broader Juniperus Virginiana oil contains volatile constituents, such as cedrol, which are established irritants and can induce allergic contact dermatitis. As a fragrance material, it is frequently implicated in skin irritation and allergic reactions.
