Definition
US FDA substance register · UNII 3X476D83QV · registered name NEOHESPERIDIN DIHYDROCHALONE · single chemical substance
Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone is a member of the dihydrochalcones that is 3,2',4',6'-tetrahydroxy-4-methoxydihydrochalcone attached to a neohesperidosyl residue at position 4' via glycosidic linkage. It is found in sweet orange. It has a role as a xenobiotic, a sweetening agent, a plant metabolite and an environmental contaminant. It is a neohesperidoside, a disaccharide derivative and a member of dihydrochalcones.

Irritation and sensitisation studies
2 skin studies and 1 eye studies are on record.
The study conclusions largely agree (100%). These tests are on the raw material itself; irritation at the amount in a finished product is a different question.
