The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly stable within a pH range of 4.0-8.0, but can undergo hydrolysis in extremely acidic (pH < 3) or alkaline (pH > 9) environments, potentially forming allyl alcohol.
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Strongly acidic or basic aqueous solutions
Safety
Safety Profile
While not reviewed by CIR, IFRA standards regulate its use, limiting concentration to 0.47% in leave-on skincare (Category 4) to prevent dermal sensitization. Impurities of free allyl alcohol must remain below 0.1% to minimize irritation.
