RIFM Fragrance Material Safety Assessment: Search
IFRA Code of Practice Notification of the 49th Amendment to the IFRA Code of Practice
IFRA Critical Effect:
Phototoxicity and potential for nitrosam
IFRA fragrance material specification:
For applications on areas of the skin exposed to sunlight, excluding bath preparations, soaps and other wash-off products, limit to 10% in the finished cosmetic product. Based on the phototoxic potential and on the observed no-effect level of approximately 2 mg/cm2 of the hairless mouse (Food and Chemical Toxicology 17, 273 (1979)). The material has been identified for having the potential of forming nitrosamines in nitrosating systems. Downstream users therefore have to be notified of the presence of the material and its potential to be able to consider adequate protective measures.

Notes:
IFRA FLAVOR REQUIREMENTS:

Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of fragrance ingredients from their use in products in Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards.

Maximised Survey-derived Daily Intakes (MSDI-EU): 51.00 (μg/capita/day)
Maximised Survey-derived Daily Intakes (MSDI-USA): 120.00 (μg/capita/day)
Threshold of Concern:1800 (μg/person/day)
Use levels for FEMA GRAS flavoring substances on which the FEMA Expert Panel based its judgments that the substances are generally recognized as safe (GRAS).
The Expert Panel also publishes separate extensive reviews of scientific information on all FEMA GRAS flavoring substances and can be found at FEMA Flavor Ingredient Library
