Butyloctyl salicylate is a salicylate ester that the CIR panel considered safe as used in cosmetics when formulated to be non-irritating. Available safety data support low dermal toxicity, and at typical cosmetic use levels the expected systemic salicylate exposure from topical application is far below oral salicylate exposure, which fits a low-risk classification.

Mineral ingredient used as a UV filter and skin protectant in many creams and mineral sunscreens. For typical topical use, systemic absorption is very low and it is generally considered acceptable in pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you prefer a cautious approach, avoid inhaling loose powders or spray formats.
