- In food it is used at 5-100 ppm in finished products; in fragrance at 0.1-2% in the concentrate depending on IFRA category
- For candles it is a top seller in the autumn/winter season, often blended with orange, clove and vanilla
- Because it is a strong skin sensitizer, cosmetics use is limited to low dilution (≤0.5-1% leave-on) with IFRA compliance
- The food-grade batch and the cosmetic-grade batch are managed separately; specify your application when ordering
