Expert Verdict
Phthalate scrutiny - although DEP is the least concerning of the phthalates (not anti-androgenic like DEHP/DBP), certain retailers and certifiers (COSMOS, Whole Foods Premium, EU Ecolabel) may restrict phthalates categorically. California Prop 65 does not list DEP specifically, but "phthalate" claims on labels may create market perception issues. Not COSMOS-eligible
