Verdict
Major allergen. Even refined grades must be analytically verified for protein content. Require supplier certificate of analysis with validated protein assay (e.g., ELISA for Ara h 1). Consider reformulating with non-allergenic alternatives (e.g., Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil) for sensitive-skin lines.
US Note
Permitted; allergen labeling required. Highly refined peanut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in food, but cosmetic use still requires allergen disclosure.
