For grown-ups, isononyl isononanoate is generally safe when used on the skin in normal cosmetic products. It’s an oil-like ingredient that makes skin feel smooth and soft and is not linked to serious health problems at the low levels used in products.
Use products that list this ingredient as directed on the label. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test on your inner arm first. Prefer products from reputable brands that follow industry concentration limits. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and worried, follow your care provider’s general advice about cosmetics or choose products with fewer ingredients.
Watch for signs of skin irritation or an allergic reaction (redness, itching, rash). Stop using the product if this happens and see a healthcare provider if it’s severe. Note: industry reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) mention limits on how much of this ingredient manufacturers should use and also point out that safety assessments depend on the reported concentrations in products. That means safety assumes the ingredient is used at recommended low levels.
