Because no health concern was reported above low, there are no specific risks identified for typical topical use.

Key areas people watch for—like cancer, allergies or immune effects, effects on growth or reproduction, organ harm, hormone disruption, and long-term build-up—were not identified as concerns for normal skin use.

No Known Risk - Government and industry safety reviews found no clear health hazards for skin use. Tests say it is not likely to build up in the body, not persistent in the environment, and not harmful to organs.
