Sensitization risk Unknown

The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) evaluated P-Anisyl Propionate in 2001, concluding 'no safety concern at current levels of intake when used as a flavouring agent.' The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) has assessed its safety, indicating it does not pose a concern for genotoxicity and is not anticipated to be photoirritating or photoallergenic. A maximum concentration of 6.0% has been noted for its use in fragrance concentrates, which are subsequently diluted in final cosmetic products.
