Sweet Almond Oil (CAS 8007-69-0) is permitted in both EU and US; CIR determined safe and FDA does not restrict cosmetic use, though allergen labeling is advised due to tree nut classification.

US Note

CIR concluded safe (1983, reaffirmed 2002, 2017 plant-derived oils supplement). FDA does not restrict cosmetic use. Almond classified as tree nut allergen under FALCPA; labeling caution advised.
