Regulatory information
The safety of 5-cyclohexadecen-1-one has been evaluated by the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM), and a safety assessment has been published following peer review. It was determined to have the potential to cause skin sensitization in a small percentage of individuals. This means that in a limited number of people, repeated contact at a sufficiently high level may cause a temporary reaction, including redness, rash, or itching of the skin.
To help prevent sensitization, RIFM has established maximum acceptable concentration levels for this ingredient in home care, air care, cosmetic, and personal care products. Although an ingredient may have the potential to cause skin sensitization, most people will not be affected. Every person's skin is different, so consult a healthcare professional with any questions. The fragrance industry supports the disclosure of specific ingredients so that individuals who may already have an allergy can choose products suitable for them.
