Sensitization risk Low

No direct CIR safety report for this specific ingredient has been issued, though it has been referenced in other contexts. It is generally not expected to cause skin irritation with prolonged or repeated use in cosmetic products. While low levels of potential allergens might be present, concentrations are typically insufficient to induce new allergies for most individuals; however, pre-sensitized individuals might experience a reaction. EWG data indicates low concerns for cancer, developmental, and reproductive toxicity, and low-to-moderate concerns for allergies/immunotoxicity. Slight transient eye irritation may occur, and the solid form can irritate skin, eyes, and respiratory systems.
