Expert Verdict
Same rosin/resin acid allergenicity concerns as methyl dehydroabietate. Hydrogenated (dihydro) form may have slightly reduced sensitization potential compared to the unsaturated dehydro form, but cross-reactivity with rosin-sensitive individuals remains.. Partially hydrogenated methyl ester of abietic acid; slightly more stable to oxidation than the dehydro form due to reduced unsaturation. Synthetic origin.
