The Formula
Formulation
Stability
A highly hygroscopic powder requiring airtight storage, it is sensitive to prolonged heat above 60°C, which can degrade its beneficial polysaccharides.
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- High concentration of electrolytes (may cause polysaccharide precipitation)
- Strongly alkaline environments (pH > 7.0 degrades active components)
Safety
Safety Profile
The CIR Expert Panel confirmed its safety for cosmetic use, contingent on maintaining anthraquinone (aloin) levels below 50 ppm to prevent potential phototoxicity and irritation.
