TRANS-2-HEXENYL VALERATE has not undergone specific safety assessments by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) for its application in skincare. While the FDA lists it as a flavoring agent, the raw chemical is generally not advised for direct medical or consumer use. Data on the structurally similar compound, trans-2-HEXENYL BUTYRATE, indicates that 32.4% of reports classify it as causing skin and serious eye irritation, suggesting a potential for similar effects, though direct data for TRANS-2-HEXENYL VALERATE on skin is absent.
