Dusting Analysis
Given its specialized nature and the toxicity concerns of raw extract, this ingredient is unlikely to be 'dusted' in formulations; precise concentration control is critical.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
The extract maintains stability in slightly acidic to neutral environments. High alkalinity (pH > 9) can lead to the hydrolysis of its alkaloid components, reducing stability.
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Highly alkaline bases
Safety
Safety Profile
Not formally reviewed by CIR or SCCS. Raw extract contains aconitine, a potent neurotoxin; cosmetic use requires highly processed, alkaloid-controlled extracts to ensure safety.
