Regulatory evidence by market

No rule for this ingredient has been imported for any of the 13 markets tracked here.

That describes this inventory, not the law. No imported rule is not evidence that an ingredient is permitted: a rule may exist under another name or identifier, or in a dataset not yet imported here.

  • Toxicity Summary: The existing information was reviewed by the independent Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety and supports the use of Cedrene as described in this fragrance ingredient safety assessment. Data show that it is not genotoxic. The repeated dose, reproductive, and local respiratory toxicity endpoints were evaluated using the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) for a Cramer Class I material, and the exposures are below the respective TTCs. The data for Cedrene provided a No Expected Sensitization Induction Level (NESIL) of 3500 μg/cm2 for the skin sensitization endpoint. Cedrene is not expected to be photoirritating/photoallergenic based on evaluation of the data and ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) spectra.
