Amendment 49 IFRA STANDARD

Acetyl hexamethyl indan (AHMI)

Fragrance ingredient restriction - Note box


The Standard is set due to the phototoxic effects of Acetyl hexamethyl indan (AHMI). For more detailed
information on the application of this Standard, please refer to the note on phototoxic ingredients in
chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards.

FLAVOR REQUIREMENTS: Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of


fragrance ingredients from their use in products in
Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply
with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized
as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the
IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more
details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of
IFRA Standards.

STANDARDS)

MANAGEMENT:

RIFM SUMMARIES:

Human studies – phototoxicity


The IFRA Standard is based upon two photoirritation studies in humans. In the first study, 10 volunteers
were treated with 10% solution of Acetyl hexamethyl indan (AHMI) in 75% ethanol plus 25% diethyl
phthalate on each forearm. Twenty-four hours later, one arm was irradiated (UVA) and the other served as
a control. Observations immediately after radiation, at 24 hrs, and at 48 hours showed no phototoxic
effects (RIFM, 1986). In the second study, 10 volunteers were treated with a 10% solution in 75% ethanol
plus 25% diethyl phthalate on the back. After 30 minutes, the site was irradiated (UVA and UVB).
Observations at 5 minutes after irradiation, and at 3, 24, 48, and 72 hours showed no phototoxic effects
(RIFM, 1987).

Animal studies – phototoxicity


• 5, 20, 50 % in guinea pigs, photoirritation observed 20 and 50% (RIFM, 1978a).
• 5, 20% in rabbits, photoirritation observed at 5 and 20% (RIFM, 1978a).
• 1, 5, 10, 20% in guinea pigs and rabbits, photoirritation observed in guinea pigs and rabbits at 5, 10, and
20% (Ogoshi et al., 1980; Ohkoshi et al., 1981).
• 10% in guinea pigs, no photoirritation observed (Guillot et al., 1985).
• 1% in rabbits, photoirritation observed (RIFM, 1978).
• 1, 2, 4 % in rabbits, photoirritation observed (RIFM, 1985a; 1985b).
• 0.01, 1, 10, 25, 50% in hairless mice, photoirritation observed at 10, 25, 50% (RIFM, 1978c).

Animal studies – photoallergy


2% in guinea pigs, no photoallergy observed, 1/10 showed sensitization (RIFM, 1985c).

EXPERT PANEL FOR FRAGRANCE SAFETY RATIONALE / CONCLUSION:

Amendment 49 IFRA STANDARD

Acetyl hexamethyl indan (AHMI)

The Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety reviewed all the available data for Acetyl hexamethyl indan (AHMI)
and recommends the concentrations for the 12 different product categories, which are the maximum
acceptable concentrations of Acetyl hexamethyl indan (AHMI) in the various product categories.
