Safety Profile
While the European Commission's SCCS reported negative results for contact allergy in human studies, aggregated GHS data indicates that 79.8% of reports suggest it may cause an allergic skin reaction (Skin Sens. 1B), and 20.1% report it causes skin irritation (Skin Irrit. 2). The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) sets a maximum acceptable concentration of 0.071% for products applied to the axillae, based on systemic toxicity and dermal sensitization concerns. The No Expected Sensitization Induction Level (NESIL) is 3100 μg/cm².
