Dusting Analysis
No specific data suggests this ingredient is commonly 'dusted' at low, ineffective concentrations in formulations. Efficacy would likely require higher, functional doses.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
While no specific optimal pH for cosmetic stability is documented, an acidic pH (3-4) is generally suggested for cut flowers. It is soluble in water and often formulated in hydro-alcoholic mixtures.
Safety
Safety Profile
The raw Zantedeschia aethiopica plant contains calcium oxalate crystals which can cause skin irritation. The irritancy of the cosmetic extract depends on processing to remove these components, and its CIR status is 'not reviewed'.
