A closer look
What the research shows
Safety assessment
The panel accepted described uses when formulated to be nonsensitizing and nonirritating, with a15ppm5-methoxypsoralen condition for finished leave-on products.
What this does not tell us
Published safety assessment, not an efficacy trial. Its conclusion is limited to the reported cosmetic uses and concentrations, and relies partly on group read-across where individual data are missing. It does not establish current regulatory status or guarantee tolerance for every formulation. This is a historical assessment condition, not a current regulatory claim. Peel oil composition, irritation and phototoxic constituents matter.
