Stability
The dibenzoate esters generally exhibit good hydrolytic stability, though Diethylene Glycol Dibenzoate shows decreased stability with an estimated base-catalyzed hydrolysis half-life of 49 days at pH 8. An optimal pH range is therefore acidic to neutral.

Safety
Safety Profile
While no specific CIR report for this exact blend was found, its components are recognized as safe, non-toxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating at recommended concentrations. FDA guidance on diethylene glycol (DEG) and ethylene glycol (EG) contamination pertains to precursor glycols, not the safety of this dibenzoate ingredient itself.
