Verdict
Only 3 reported commercial uses as of 2022 VCRP data with no concentration data reported. Linoleate moiety is oxidation-prone, making stability in formulation a practical concern. CIR noted the ingredient is listed with skin bleaching agent function in the INCI Dictionary but explicitly did not evaluate safety for that claim as it is not a cosmetic use.
US Note
CIR-reviewed (2022): safe as used when formulated to be nonirritating/nonsensitizing
