Description of key information
Skin Irritation:
No irritation was observed after 48-hours in human volunteers. Hence, Cinnamyl propionate can be considered to be not irritating to human skin.
Eye Irritation:
The ocular irritation potential of Cinnamyl propionate was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor.
Cinnamyl propionate was estimated to be not irritating to the eyes of New Zealand White rabbits.
Based on the estimated results, Cinnamyl propionate can be considered to be not irritating to eyes and can be classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.

Additional information
Skin Irritation:
In different studies,Cinnamyl propionate has been investigated for potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits along with human data for target chemical and its structurally similar read across substance,Cinnamyl acetate[CAS: 103-54-8]. The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.
Various studies for Cinnamyl propionate were summarized in Food and Chemical Toxicology, 45, (2007), S82–S85; to assess the dermal irritation potential in humans and rabbits.
4% cinnamyl propionate in petrolatum was applied on the backs of 5 healthy, male volunteers in a 48-h closed patch test. Human volunteers were observed for signs of irritation. No irritation was observed after 48-hours in human volunteers. Hence, Cinnamyl propionate can be considered to be not irritating to human skin. Also, a test was performed as a part of acute dermal LD50 study. Ten rabbits received a single dermal application of neat cinnamyl propionate which was applied for 24 hours under occlusion. The rabbits were observed for signs of irritation till 21 days. Moderate (4/10 rabbits) to slight erythema (5/10 rabbits) and slight edema (1/10 rabbits) were observed. Hence, Cinnamyl butyrate was considered to be mildly irritating to rabbit skin.
Even though rabbit study indicates that Cinnamyl propionate is mildly irritating to rabbit skin but human data concludes that it is not irritating to human skin. Since, in the rabbit study skin was exposed to higher concentration of Cinnamyl propionate than the normal use; there exists a possibility of Cinnamyl propionate being of not irritating to rabbit skin at lower concentrations. So, Cinnamyl propionate can be considered to be not irritating to skin.
In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the dermal irritation potential was estimated forCinnamyl propionate. Cinnamyl propionate was estimated to be not irritating to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.
Skin irritation effects were also estimated by four different models i.e, Battery, Leadscope, SciQSAR and CASE Ultra used within Danish QSAR database for Cinnamyl propionate. Based on estimation, No severe skin irritation effects were known when Cinnamyl propionate was exposed to rabbit skin.
The experimental and estimated data are in agreement with each other; substantiate the claim that Cinnamyl propionate is indeed not irritating to skin.
These above results are ably supported by the various studies summarized in Food and Cosmetics Toxicology, Volume 11, Issue 6, December 1973, Page 1063; for thestructurally similar read across substance, Cinnamyl acetate[CAS: 103-54-8].
Undiluted Cinnamyl acetate was applied under occlusion to the intact and abraded skin in rabbits and observed for signs of irritation (duration not mentioned).Cinnamyl acetate was not irritating to rabbit skin. Also,when tested on 25 human subjects at 5% in petrolatum in a 48-hr closed-patch test,cinnamyl acetateproduced no irritation.
Based on the available data for the target as well as read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach,Cinnamyl propionate was not irritating to skin.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
Eye Irritation:
In different studies,Cinnamyl propionatehas been investigated for potential for ocular irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits along with predicted data for target chemical and its functionally similar read across substances,Methyl cinnamate[CAS: 103-56-4] and Methyl dihydrojasmonate[CAS: 24851-98-7]. The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.
In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the ocular irritation potential was estimated forCinnamyl propionate. Cinnamyl propionate was estimated to be not irritating to the eyes of New Zealand White rabbits.
This result is supported by the experimental study summarized in Food and Chemical Toxicology, 45 (2007), S113–S119; for thefunctionally similar read across substance,Methyl cinnamate[CAS: 103-56-4].0.1ml methyl cinnamate was instilled in one eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits and observed for signs of irritation. The untreated eyes served as controls. Observations were made at 1, 4, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h and daily thereafter for a total of 7 days. Conjunctival irritation was observed in 1/6 rabbits for 24-h.Under the conditions of this study, methyl cinnamate was considered to be not irritating.
These results are also supported by the experimental study summarized in Food and Chemical Toxicology, 50 (2012), S517–S556; for thefunctionally similar read across substance, Methyl dihydrojasmonate[CAS: 24851-98-7]. The test was performed according to OECD 405 Guidelines.
Undiluted 0.1 ml methyl dihydrojasmonate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 3 rabbits and observed for signs of irritation. The reactions were observed and scored after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours of application. Scores were calculated for every animal as the mean following grading at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation of the test material. No effects were observed on iris or cornea, slight conjunctival irritation was noted in all rabbits. The mean scores for redness in 2/3 rabbits was 0.3 and the effects got cleared by 48 hours. Hence, methyl dihydrojasmonate was considered not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Based on the available data for the target as well as read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach,Cinnamyl propionate was not irritating to eyes.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Available studies for Cinnamyl propionate indicate that it is not likely to any cause irritation to skin and eyes.Hence, Cinnamyl propionate can be classified under the category “Not Classified” for skin and eyes as per CLP regulation.
