About
A fragrance ingredient used to shape scent, but its hazard profile points to irritation or sensitization concerns.
This is primarily a perfume material rather than a skin-treatment ingredient. The supplied hazard information points to irritation, sensitization, or acute-toxicity issues, so it sits below the safest fragrance bucket even though use levels in finished formulas are usually low.
Function
Known concerns
- Harmful if swallowed
- Limited public cosmetic safety history
