Expert Verdict

Elevated concern - epoxide derivatives of linalool are recognized as stronger sensitizers than linalool itself; linalool hydroperoxides and epoxides formed via autoxidation are documented contact allergens. An oxidation product of linalool with an epoxide functional group; formed by reaction with oxygen; its presence in aged linalool-containing products can increase sensitization risk
