The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Demonstrates excellent stability in lotions, shampoos, and soaps but degrades in highly acidic or oxidizing environments. Requires protection from air and light exposure to prevent autoxidation.
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Strong acids
- Strong bases
Safety
Safety Profile
Regulated under IFRA standards with typical cosmetic use levels below 1%. Aldehyde structure can undergo autoxidation to form sensitizing compounds, potentially causing skin irritation and allergic reactions at elevated concentrations.
