Expert Verdict

RIFM evaluated it for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, developmental/reproductive toxicity, phototoxicity, and skin sensitization. Not expected to be genotoxic based on read-across from linalyl cinnamate (CAS 78-37-5). Metabolizes via hydrolysis to linalool and phenylacetic acid. Skin absorption class 40% with Jmax = 0.571 mg/cm²/h. Not PBT per IFRA Environmental Standards.. Molecular formula C₁₈H₂₄O₂, MW 272.39; a higher molecular weight linalyl ester with a floral-waxy scent character.
