Label Elements: No pictograms or hazard symbols required for consumer use formulations.
Potential Environmental Impact: Not expected to pose risk to aquatic life at usual use concentrations. Undiluted quantities may impact small water systems.
Main Constituents: Carnosic acid (10-25%), Rosmarinic acid (1-10%), Essential oils (1-5%), other polyphenols, carrier solvents (typically ethanol or vegetable oil)
Impurities: Trace amounts of moisture and residual plant matter
Ingredient Origin: Extracted from dried rosemary leaves using approved food-grade solvents
Quality Standards: Compliant with food, cosmetic, or pharma grade depending on end use
Allergens: No known allergenic compounds; product not considered allergenic under FDA guidelines
Inhalation: Remove individual to fresh air if accidental inhalation occurs, especially in industrial settings. Seek medical attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort persists.
Skin Contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Seek medical guidance if irritation, redness, or rash appears.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. If large amounts are ingested and discomfort occurs, seek professional medical advice. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a physician.
Most Important Symptoms: Mild eye or skin irritation, minor gastrointestinal upset if ingested in large quantities
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray (do not use high-pressure streams)
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct water jet may spread product
Specific Hazards: Burning may release irritating smoke, possibly containing carbon oxides and volatile organic compounds
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers from area if it can be done safely. Cool adjacent containers with water spray.
Explosion Data: Product not explosive under normal handling conditions. Vapors not expected to form explosive mixtures under typical storage and use.
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves and eye protection to avoid direct contact. Ventilate area to disperse vapors.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release to waterways; prevent entry into drains, surface water, or soil.
Methods for Clean Up: Absorb spills with inert material such as sand or earth. Collect material in sealable containers for proper disposal. Wash area with detergent and water after removal.
Additional Advice: For large spills in industrial settings, notify authorities according to local legislation.
Handling: Use standard hygienic practices including hand washing after handling. Avoid inhaling concentrated vapors. Keep away from food and beverages during use in industrial settings.
Storage Conditions: Store tightly sealed in cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, away from direct light, excessive heat, and oxidizing materials.
Storage Temperature: Below 25°C (77°F) recommended for long-term stability. Protect from freezing.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents can degrade product quality.
Shelf Life: Up to 2 years when stored in optimal conditions.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation in bulk handling or processing areas.
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear protective gloves made of nitrile or neoprene, safety goggles, and lab coats for regular handling. Industrial users should have easy access to eyewash stations and safety showers.
Respiratory Protection: Not typically required for consumer usage. In industrial settings with high vapor concentrations, use a NIOSH-approved respirator.
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits; treat as low-hazard plant extract.
Appearance: Viscous liquid, color ranges from yellow to brown
Odor: Characteristic herbal, aromatic scent
pH: 4.0–7.0 (dependent on carrier solvent)
Boiling Point: Varies with solvent, typically 78°C for ethanol-based extracts
Melting Point: Not applicable (liquid at room temperature)
Flash Point: Solvent dependent, usually above 40°C for ethanol-dependant preparations
Solubility: Soluble in ethanol and plant oils, limited solubility in water
Density: Approximately 1.0–1.1 g/cm³
Vapor Pressure: Not significant under normal conditions
Partition Coefficient: Not determined
Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions. Extended exposure to heat, light, or air can degrade active compounds.
Reactivity: No known hazardous reactions under normal use.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Degradation may produce carbon oxides and minor irritant fumes.
Materials to Avoid: Avoid contact with strong acids, bases, and oxidizers that increase degradation rates.
Polymerization: Does not occur.
Acute Toxicity: Low toxicity by oral, dermal, or inhalation routes. LC50 and LD50 data suggest a wide margin of safety.
Irritation: May cause mild, reversible skin or eye irritation for sensitive individuals.
Sensitization: Unlikely but possible in persons with plant extract allergies.
Chronic Toxicity: No known effects from repeated or prolonged exposure within intended use concentrations.
Carcinogenicity: No component listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA as carcinogen.
Reproductive Toxicity: Not linked to reproductive hazards in current research.
Mutagenicity: No evidence for genetic toxicity.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Allergies to Lamiaceae family plants (e.g., rosemary, sage, thyme).
Ecotoxicity: Not expected to be toxic to aquatic organisms or harm plants at relevant concentrations.
Persistence and Degradability: Components rapidly degrade in the environment, do not bioaccumulate.
Bioaccumulation Potential: Low, due to rapid environmental degradation.
Mobility in Soil: Low potential for mobility. Breakdown products do not persist.
Other Adverse Effects: Large accidental releases may temporarily affect small water bodies; dilution and natural breakdown occur swiftly.
Waste Treatment: Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations. Product can typically be discarded with domestic waste in consumer quantities.
