Safety
Safety Profile
Nicotinaldehyde is associated with multiple significant hazards, including causing skin irritation (H315), serious eye damage (H318), and potentially an allergic skin reaction (H317). It may also cause respiratory irritation (H335) and allergy or asthma symptoms if inhaled (H334). Furthermore, it is suspected of causing genetic defects (H341). Regulatory bodies such as CIR and SCCS have not identified it as a cosmetic ingredient. Additional hazards include being harmful if swallowed (H302), a flammable liquid (H226), and harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H412).
