Safety Profile
Comprehensive safety assessments by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) for TETRAMETHYLCYCLOHEXENE-1-PROPANOL are currently unavailable. Although a related synonym, 'DIHYDRO-.BETA.-IONOL', is listed as 'Approved' by FDA UNII, this does not detail specific cosmetic safety or concentration limits. The EPA TSCA status for '2-Cyclohexene-1-propanol, alpha,2,6,6-tetramethyl-' is 'INACTIVE', suggesting limited commercial activity or in-depth evaluation in certain regulatory contexts.
