For adults: generally low concern for cancer or long‑term harm, but it can cause skin allergies in some people. Adults and grown‑ups who are sensitive may react to it, especially if the product has been exposed to air.
Before using on a larger area, put a tiny amount on your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. If no redness, itching, or rash appears, regular use is usually fine. Keep products tightly closed and use within the product’s recommended time to reduce the chance of the scent changing. Avoid using on broken, sore, or inflamed skin.
Watch for signs of a contact allergy: redness, itching, swelling, blistering, or a spreading rash after using a product with this ingredient. The allergy concern comes from published studies showing the ingredient can form strong contact allergens on air exposure (autoxidation) and from regulatory listings (EU Cosmetics Directive and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). If you see a reaction, stop use and talk to your doctor or a dermatologist. If you have known fragrance allergies, choose fragrance‑free products.
