How does michelia leaf oil comply with EU REACH and CLP?
Michelia leaf oil is a natural UVCB substance (complex botanical mixture), so its EU obligations depend on import volume and end use — the key points are summarised below.
REACH Status
| Volume / use | Obligation |
|---|---|
| < 1 tonne/year | SDS supply + article notification only (no registration) |
| ≥ 1 tonne/year | Registration dossier (UVCB): analytical data, GC-MS fingerprint, DNEL/PNEC derivation |
| Flavour use | Covered by the flavour regulation (EC) 1334/2008 rather than cosmetic REACH routes |
CLP Classification (for labelling and SDS)
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Signal word | Danger |
| Hazard classes | Skin Irrit. 2 (H315), Eye Irrit. 2 (H319), Skin Sensit. 1 (H317), Carc. 2 (H351), Asp. Tox. 1 (H304), Aquatic Chronic 2 (H411) |
| EU allergen labelling | Linalool (main component, 70-89%) must be listed on cosmetic labels above 0.001% (leave-on) / 0.01% (rinse-off) per Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 |
