Toxicity:
For eugenol, IFRA advises a maximum dermal use level of 0.5% across most product types to prevent skin sensitization (IFRA 2009). In the case of isoeugenol, IFRA recommends a maximum dermal use level of 0.02% for products that will have skin contact. For leave-on products like body lotions, IFRA suggests that the maximum concentration of methyleugenol should not exceed 0.0004%. Additionally, it's worth noting that the SCCNFP (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety) sets a slightly lower maximum of 0.0002% for methyleugenol, indicating a moderate risk of both skin sensitization and mucous membrane irritation associated with this ingredient. Also there is a possible drug interaction, as it may inhibit blood clotting. Avoid use on hypersensitive, damaged, or diseased skin, and on children under 2 years of age.
