Skin Sens. 1

The existing information was reviewed by the independent Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety and supports the use of l-Carvone as described in this safety assessment. Data show that it is not genotoxic and provided a No Expected Sensitization Induction Level (NESIL) of 2600 μg/cm2 for the skin sensitization endpoint. Data provided a calculated Margin of Exposure (MOE) greater than 100 for the repeated dose toxicity and reproductive toxicity endpoints. l-carvone is not phototoxic/photoallergenic based on an evaluation the data and the ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) spectra. The local respiratory toxicity endpoint was evaluated using the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) for a Cramer Class II material (0.47 mg/day); the exposure to l-carvone is below the TTC.

The existing information was reviewed by the independent Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety and supports the use of l-carvone as described in this safety assessment. It was found not to be persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) as per the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Environmental Standards, and its risk quotients, based on its current volume of use in Europe and North America (i.e., Predicted Environmental Concentration/Predicted No Effect Concentration [PEC/PNEC]), are less than 1.
