About

Cinnamoyl Tryptamine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Cinnamoyl tryptamine is a phenolic acid amide of tryptamine, functioning as a skin-conditioning active with potential antioxidant and brightening properties. It is structurally related to compounds involved in melanin synthesis pathways, suggesting potential use as a skin tone-evenifying ingredient. Under EU cosmetic regulation it is not specifically restricted, but the cinnamoyl (phenylpropenoyl) structure raises mild sensitization consideration in individuals sensitive to cinnamon-related compounds. Full safety assessment is required before market placement.

Skin benefits

  • Potential skin-brightening and tone-evening activity

Known concerns

  • Structural alert: cinnamoyl group — potential cross-reactivity with cinnamic acid sensitizers
  • Limited clinical safety data for this specific derivative
  • Required full safety assessment under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009
