Safety Profile
The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) concluded in 2003 that there is 'No safety concern at current levels of intake when used as a flavouring agent.' However, the pure substance is classified with GHS pictograms, indicating danger due to its capacity to cause severe skin burns and eye damage (Skin Corr. 1B). Its safety for topical cosmetic applications has not been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR).
