Stability
The extract's anthocyanins are pH-sensitive, maintaining their vibrant color and stability best in acidic conditions (pH 3-4). Stability significantly diminishes in alkaline environments above pH 7.0.
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Alkaline pH environments
Safety
Safety Profile
Generally recognized as safe for food consumption, cosmetic-specific toxicological data is currently limited. Commercial recommendations for topical formulations typically suggest use levels between 1% and 5%.
