Stability
While specific data for Pyridoxine Hydroxybenzoate is limited, its Pyridoxine component suggests optimal stability within a pH range of 5 to 7. Decomposition may occur at pH values below 3 or above 9. The ingredient is also sensitive to heat, with degradation potential above 100°C, and to light, particularly at higher pH and prolonged exposure durations.
Safety
Safety Profile
There are no specific safety assessments for Pyridoxine Hydroxybenzoate available from regulatory bodies such as CIR, SCCS, or FDA. Individual components, Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) and Hydroxybenzoates (parabens), have separate safety profiles. Pyridoxine hydrochloride is FDA approved for certain drug and food additive uses. Parabens, including methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate, are categorized as generally recognized as safe (GRAS/FS) by the FDA and have been reaffirmed as safe in current cosmetic use concentrations by the CIR.
