Expert Verdict

Structural proximity to cinnamyl allergens demands documented sensitization testing. Cinnamyl acetate parent (CAS 103-54-8) is not IFRA-restricted and contains no listed allergens, which is a positive read-across signal. However, methyl substitution may alter metabolic fate. Recommend confirming CAS via supplier COA and checking IFRA/SCCS status.
