Security and stability

Beta-ionone is generally considered safe for use within recommended concentrations and conditions of use. However, caution should be exercised, as in high concentrations it can be irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. The industry recommends the use of appropriate personal protective equipment when working with this compound.

Storage of beta-ionone requires attention, as it is sensitive to light and air, which can lead to degradation and changes in its aromatic properties. It is recommended to store it in tightly closed, darkened containers, in a cool and dry place to ensure its durability and quality.
