Expert Verdict
Very limited independent toxicological data available. The parent acid (dodecenylsuccinic acid) has GHS classification as a skin irritant; the ester form is expected to be milder. Read-across justification from parent acid to ester with appropriate adjustment factors would be needed for CPSR compliance. Patch testing data recommended.
