Safety Profile
The Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety (RIFM) has concluded that 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine is safe at current usage levels in fragrance products. It is not identified as a skin sensitizer and is not anticipated to be photoirritating. While its photoallergenic potential is still under research, existing data suggests it is not genotoxic, and exposure levels fall below the Threshold of Toxicological Concern for various toxicities. However, safety data sheets indicate a potential for mild skin and eye irritation.
