Stability
Oxidative stability may vary with production methods; inclusion of antioxidants is suggested for optimal longevity. The optimal pH for the yeast's lipid production is around 7-8, but specific stability for the cosmetic oil is not explicitly documented.
Safety
Safety Profile
The CIR Panel found insufficient data for a safety determination in cosmetics. However, the yeast itself is FDA GRAS, and the oil is considered unlikely to be sensitizing with limited skin absorption. Accidental eye exposure may cause slight irritation.
