The Formula
Formulation
Stability
No specific optimal pH range or general stability notes for Rapeseed Gamma-Lactone were found. However, studies on rapeseed proteins suggest stability for emulsions in the pH 3-6 range, and gamma-valerolactone (a related lactone) is stable at pH 2-7 at ambient conditions. This suggests a potentially wide pH tolerance, but specific data for Rapeseed Gamma-Lactone is absent.
Safety
Safety Profile
Information regarding the safety assessment by CIR, SCCS, or FDA specifically for Rapeseed Gamma-Lactone is unavailable. While general rapeseed oil is considered GRAS by the FDA, and hydrogenated rapeseed oil is deemed non-toxic, these assessments do not directly apply to this specific lactone. Its irritancy potential is unknown.

Verdict
With a notable absence of specific clinical studies, mechanistic understanding, and comprehensive safety data, Rapeseed Gamma-Lactone currently presents insufficient evidence for confident integration into precision skincare formulations.
