Safety
Safety Profile
Rhodinyl Phenylacetate (FEMA No. 2985) is classified as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by FEMA for use as a flavor ingredient. The FDA previously listed it as a synthetic flavoring substance for food but later ceased providing for its use, a regulation specific to food additives. The European risk phrase R38 indicates that this substance is 'Irritating to skin'. The IFRA standard provides a recommendation for usage levels up to 5.00% within fragrance concentrates, which does not directly translate to a general safe limit for all cosmetic applications.
