Dusting Analysis
As a colorant, CI 44045 is inherently used in very low concentrations; however, because it offers no clinical skin-improving benefits, any inclusion in a 'treatment' product is strictly for marketing aesthetics.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Decomposition occurs at temperatures exceeding 100°C. Staining intensity and results are highly sensitive to pH levels and buffer solutions within the formula.
Conflicts
- strong oxidizing agents
- temperatures >100°C
