Verdict
Check for sulfite residues (SO₂) if sulfured molasses was used in production as EU Annex III restricts sulfites. Potential microbial growth medium due to high sugar content requires adequate preservation in final formula. Acrylamide contamination possible from Maillard reaction during sugar processing if heated during manufacture.
US Note
No CIR review. Not on FDA prohibited list. Molasses/sugar derivatives have long cosmetic use history
