Contains IFRA-restricted fragrance allergen constituents (geraniol, benzyl alcohol, para-anisaldehyde, para-anisyl alcohol) requiring label declaration in EU above threshold. Concentrated leave-on applications and known sensitive-skin formulations should apply IFRA constituent limits and declare allergens.
No specific FDA 21 CFR prohibition or restriction; not listed in OTC monographs; used as fragrance/cosmetic ingredient under general cosmetic rules; no formal CIR safe-as-used determination. CIR 2005 final report concluded insufficient data to support safety for Acacia farnesiana extract and related non-senegal species.
