Stability
A related compound, Chlorotrifluoropropane, demonstrates stability against degradation by water or air. However, CHLOROTRIFLUOROPROPENE is noted to support combustion, and specific stability parameters for cosmetic formulations are not available.
Safety
Safety Profile
CHLOROTRIFLUOROPROPENE has not undergone safety review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) for cosmetic applications, nor is it explicitly listed by the FDA as a cosmetic ingredient with specific assessments. While the FDA has restricted related chlorofluorocarbon propellants, this compound is not directly addressed. Safety data indicates that direct contact with the evaporating liquid may induce frostbite; however, it is not classified as a skin sensitizer, nor does it meet criteria for skin corrosion or irritation. Environmentally, it is classified as harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. It is a gas under pressure, posing an explosion risk if heated, and decomposes into toxic chlorine and fluorine gases upon thermal decomposition.

Verdict
As an industrial chemical with no identified cosmetic applications, clinical studies, or specific safety assessments for skincare, there is insufficient data to recommend CHLOROTRIFLUOROPROPENE for cosmetic use.
