Sold as a cosmetic raw material for professional formulation. A published INCI name does not by itself authorise use: the buyer is responsible for confirming permitted status, maximum concentration, restrictions by product type, labelling and claim rules in every market the finished product is sold in. In India, cosmetics fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and the Cosmetics Rules 2020 administered by CDSCO, with BIS standards (including IS 4707 Part 2) listing restricted substances. The EU applies Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its Annexes; the United States applies the FD&C Act as amended by MoCRA; Korea, Japan and China operate their own positive lists and functional-cosmetic frameworks. Every finished product needs its own safety assessment.

Water Dispersible — Water-dispersible rather than truly soluble. Sprinkle into vigorously stirred water or pre-wet in glycerin to avoid lumping.
TYPICAL USE LEVEL
No single published figure applies to every grade of this material. As a working rule, start water-phase actives at 0.5–2%, oil-phase actives at 1–5%, standardised or potent isolates at 0.05–0.5%, and supplier-diluted solutions at the percentage the technical data sheet specifies. Always confirm the exact level against the supplier TDS, your stability and compatibility testing, and the safety assessment for your finished product.
pH RANGE
formulation-dependent
ADD AT
As per the supplier technical data sheet
FUNCTIONS
pH buffering
USED IN
Skin, hair, color cosmetics
STORAGE
Store in the original sealed container in a cool, dry place at 15–25 °C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Re-seal immediately after weighing; many powders are hygroscopic.

How to read these entries: use levels, pH windows and addition phases are starting points from supplier literature, not specifications. Confirm every figure against the technical data sheet and Certificate of Analysis for the grade and batch you buy, and satisfy yourself of the regulatory position in each market you sell into.
