Verdict
Contains linalool (1-4000 ppm), thujone, quercetin, hydroquinone, and α-peroxyachifolid; formulators must ensure cumulative exposure from multiple botanicals stays below toxicological concern levels. Oral animal studies show reproductive effects at high doses, but dermal cosmetic exposure is not relevant to systemic toxicity assessment.
