Safety
Safety Profile
While recognized by regulatory bodies like the FDA (FEMA 3785, GRAS 16) and JECFA for its safety as a flavoring agent at current intake levels, specific safety assessments by CIR or SCCS for its use in skincare are absent. It is classified as an irritant (Xi) and can cause irritation to the eyes, respiratory system, and and skin (R 36/37/38), with prolonged exposure potentially leading to dermatitis and systemic effects. The maximum recommended concentration in fragrance concentrates is 0.0100%.
