Safety and compliance
- Status. Regulatory assessment pending. No formula-level safety assessment is documented yet, so this page does not say the formula is compliant for any use.
- IFRA Standards. The IFRA Standards Library covers 6 of its materials: Benzyl Salicylate (Restriction: Benzyl salicylate, Amendment 49); Sandalore (Restriction: 5-(2,2,3-Trimethyl-3-cyclopentenyl)-3-methylpentan-2-ol, Amendment 49); Lemon Oil (Cold-Pressed) (Restriction: Lemon oil cold pressed, Amendment 49); Farnesol (Farnesol, Amendment 49); Hydroxycitronellal (Restriction: Hydroxycitronellal, Amendment 51); Coumarin (Restriction: Coumarin, Amendment 49).
- Phototoxicity. Lemon Oil (Cold-Pressed) is phototoxic; IFRA limits phototoxic materials in products left on skin exposed to sunlight.
- Skin sensitisation. EU-labelled fragrance allergens present as ingredients: Benzyl salicylate, Coumarin, Farnesol, Hydroxycitronellal. Natural materials carry further allergens as constituents, declared from the supplier’s data, and Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 extends the list to be labelled on products placed on the EU market from 31 July 2026.
- Product category. Limits depend on the product: fine fragrance, leave-on and rinse-off products have different IFRA categories, and each Standard sets its own figure for each.
