Expert Verdict

Sensitization risk from residual geraniol/geranyl formate; limited independent safety data - relies on read-across from the parent extract and formate ester toxicology. Chemical modification (esterification with formic acid) alters the volatility and olfactory profile of the native extract, producing fruity-rosy formate ester notes; may improve stability relative to free alcohol forms
