Safety
Safety Profile
The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) has concluded that phenethyl tiglate presents no safety concern for skin sensitization at current declared usage levels. A human maximization test utilizing 6% phenethyl tiglate in petrolatum demonstrated no observable skin sensitization reactions. While previously recognized by the FDA as a synthetic flavoring substance, its use for this purpose is no longer provided for by the FDA, though it remains listed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by FEMA for flavoring applications.
