Verdict

No significant safety flags. As an esterification product of babassu oil fatty acids with ethanol, it is considered mild and well-tolerated.. Plant-derived (babassu palm); the ethyl ester structure provides a lighter, less greasy skin feel compared to the native triglyceride oil, with good spreadability.

US Note

Allowed. No specific prohibition or restriction; manufacturer bears responsibility for safety under MoCRA.
