Risks & Warnings

Public safety data are limited, but the ingredient is generally expected to be low hazard and low irritation. Because it is an oil-derived ester/solubilizer, a small risk of breakouts or fungal-acne incompatibility exists for very acne- or malassezia-prone users, though this is not well quantified in public literature.
