Stability

While specific stability data for Phenylpropane in cosmetic formulations is not available, its isomer, cumene (also known as propylbenzene), is known to oxidize to form peroxides when exposed to air over time and reacts violently with acids and strong oxidants. This suggests potential stability concerns for Phenylpropane in formulations.
