Expert Verdict

Oxirane (epoxide) functional group raises general sensitization concerns; epoxides can be reactive with skin proteins; IFRA may impose use limits. Bicycloheptene (norbornene) core with an oxirane-carboxylate side chain; synthetic fragrance compound - I was unable to fully verify CAS in my search results; cross-check with CosIng or your supplier CoA before use
