About
Deanol Aceglumate (inn) is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Deanol aceglumate (deanotate) is the salt of 2-dimethylaminoethanol (deanol) with aceglutamic acid, used as a nootropic and CNS-active pharmaceutical agent. Deanol is a choline precursor that crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted to acetylcholine. EU Annex III restricts deanol aceglumate at ≥0.1% in cosmetic products, reflecting concerns about its pharmacological activity on the central nervous system and potential for systemic effects from topical application.
Known concerns
- CNS-active pharmacological compound
- Cholinergic activity
- Systemic effects from skin absorption
