Safety score · 0–100

Caution

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Benzoyl tryptamine is a tryptamine-class compound without a recognised cosmetic safety dossier. The neuroactive potential of the tryptamine scaffold and lack of SCCS support justify caution.

Skin benefits

  • Investigated as a research chemical and synthetic intermediate
  • Tryptamine scaffold appears in some bioactive natural products

Known concerns

  • Tryptamine derivatives are pharmacologically active and may have neuroactive metabolites
  • No SCCS opinion or established cosmetic safety dossier exists
  • Benzoyl substitution does not eliminate concerns about systemic activity
  • Falls outside any recognised cosmetic functional category
