Safety

Safety Profile

Sensitization risk High

The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has approved this ingredient for cosmetic use, but its application is subject to restrictions outlined in Annex III of the EC Cosmetics Regulation, which may involve purity criteria or specific maximum concentration levels. Despite these conditions, the SCCS unequivocally identifies it as an established human contact allergen. It is classified as a skin irritant (H315 EU CLP) and a skin sensitiser (H317 EU CLP). The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) implemented specific safe use levels in August 2009 due to its sensitization potential. A 2014 US NTP 13-week repeat dose toxicity study reported no adverse effects, and genetic toxicity studies were predominantly negative, with one equivocal finding. Specific maximum concentration levels are not detailed in the research data.
