Verdict: unknown

Expert Verdict

Major allergen. Even refined grades must be analytically verified for protein content. Require supplier certificate of analysis with validated protein assay (e.g., ELISA for Ara h 1). Consider reformulating with non-allergenic alternatives (e.g., Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil) for sensitive-skin lines.
