Expert Verdict
Gallate esters are known rare contact sensitizers (propyl gallate is on some baseline patch-test series). No ingredient-specific safety data — read-across from gallic acid, propyl gallate sensitization data, and isomerized linoleic acid safety data required. Dual antioxidant and emollient function is attractive but demands supporting dossier.
