About

DIALLYL SULPHIDE is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Diallyl sulphide is a thioether found in garlic oil and used as a flavouring agent and fragrance raw material. The EU does not specifically restrict it under Annex III or IV, but IFRA has issued guidelines limiting its use due to photosensitisation potential and skin sensitisation risk. It is predominantly used in fragrance products designed to mask garlic odours or in functional perfumery.

Known concerns

  • IFRA-restricted due to photosensitisation and sensitisation potential
  • Strong garlic-like odour limits cosmetic applications
  • May cause skin sensitisation under光照 exposure
