The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel typically defers the safety assessment of solely fragrance ingredients to the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM). RIFM data indicates Trans-2-Hexenyl Propionate (CAS # 53398-80-4) does not pose a genotoxic risk. It is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic products, with a recommended maximum usage level for fragrance concentrate up to 8.0000%. PubChem data also indicates a low hazard profile, as it does not meet GHS hazard criteria in 100% of reports.
