As a pure fragrance ingredient without known skin-beneficial mechanisms, Linalyl Anthranilate is categorized as 'dusting' within the context of precision skincare. Its inclusion at concentrations typically used for fragrance (e.g., 0.2-1.0%) introduces potential irritation risks without contributing to targeted skin health outcomes.

Sensitization risk Moderate

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has indicated insufficient data for a comprehensive safety assessment. It is recognized by the FDA as a flavoring agent. While a RIFM safety assessment concluded no concern for phototoxicity, photoallergenicity, or skin sensitization, aggregated GHS data from 274 reports classify it as causing skin irritation (H315) and serious eye irritation (H319) in 14.2% of instances. Recommended maximum usage in skin creams and shampoos typically ranges from 0.2% to 1.0%.

Verdict

Questionable

Linalyl Anthranilate functions exclusively as a fragrance ingredient without identified skin benefits, posing a moderate potential for irritation that may outweigh its sensory contribution in precision skincare.
