An environmental agency has noted possible environmental toxicity (Environment Canada). Also, some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless the maker provides supporting safety data — that means manufacturers should be able to show safe use levels. Stop use and see a doctor if you notice persistent redness, swelling, blistering, or other signs of skin allergy or irritation.
