Verdict
EU: permitted, CosIng ref 58704, no concentration limits, no Annex restrictions. USA: cosmetic ingredient, CIR reports safe at current use concentrations. Korea: Category I (highest safety tier). Primary concern is cross-reactivity risk via tropomyosin epitopes in shellfish/dust-mite-allergic individuals; patch testing recommended for at-risk groups.
US Note
FDA classifies as cosmetic ingredient (not drug). No GRAS/GRASE status — inapplicable category. CIR Expert Panel concludes safe at current practices and concentrations. MoCRA registration required for finished products. No FDA concentration limits.
