Dusting Analysis
There is no specific data available to suggest that Zinc Indoleacetate Hydroxide is commonly dusted in cosmetic formulations. Its primary functions as a conditioning agent do not inherently lead to dusting concerns.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
No specific optimal pH range is detailed. However, dissolved zinc compounds can precipitate as zinc hydroxide in alkaline conditions, suggesting formulations should maintain a pH of 7.0 or below.
Safety
Safety Profile
While not specifically reviewed by CIR, many other zinc salts are deemed safe up to 1% when non-irritating. The SCCS restricts water-soluble zinc salts to 1% (expressed as zinc) due to potential for exceeding tolerable aggregate intake levels.
