Safety
Safety Profile
This ingredient has not undergone review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR). It is classified as an irritant (Xi; R 36/38) for both skin and eyes, with INCIDecoder rating its irritancy as medium. Although the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) suggests usage levels up to 15.0000% in fragrance concentrates, this recommendation pertains to fragrance, not general cosmetic application. Notably, the FDA no longer permits its use as a synthetic flavoring substance. While 86.1% of GHS hazard reports do not classify it for human health concerns, 13.9% of ECHA reports identify it as toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H411).
