Dusting Analysis
OCTAHYDRO-TETRAMETHYL-1-NAPHTHALENOL is typically used for its perfuming qualities. While it is not 'dusted' in the sense of being included at an ineffective concentration for a stated benefit, its inclusion in products claiming skin benefits would be without a functional basis due to its lack of direct efficacy.
