Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not yet evaluated TRANS-METHYLBUTENYL TIGLATE. While specific sensitization data for this compound is absent, related 'tiglate' compounds show varying safety profiles. Some, such as methyl tiglate (up to 0.6000%) and butyl tiglate (up to 1.0000%), have established maximum usage levels in fragrance concentrates due to potential irritancy. Conversely, hexyl tiglate has been assessed by RIFM and found to pose no concerns for skin sensitization, photoirritation, or photoallergenicity at current use levels.
