Known Interactions

DIHYDROXYACETONEUse Cautionperoxide_oxidation

Ethoxylated surfactants (Ceteareth-*, PEG-*, Polysorbate-*, Poloxamer-*) accumulate peroxides over shelf life via air oxidation of the polyoxyethylene chain. The resulting peroxides degrade DHA, accelerating off-smell and producing orange tones. For DHA formulations, prefer non-ethoxylated emulsifiers: Polyglyceryl-* esters (Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate), Lecithin, Sucrose Stearate, Olivem 1000 (Cetearyl Olivate + Sorbitan Olivate).
