Caution
Sensitization risk Low

Robust topical toxicology studies are currently lacking, making a comprehensive safety assessment challenging. While deemed possibly safe for oral intake within specific daily dosages (500-1050 mg for up to 1 month), information regarding topical application safety during pregnancy and lactation is insufficient, and its use is advised against during these periods. The FDA has not reviewed this ingredient for safety or effectiveness in products.
