Safety score · 0–100

Fine

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

Lipid-modified glutathione derivative designed for better skin penetration and antioxidant delivery; mechanism is sound by analogy but clinical evidence for the dipalmitoyl ester specifically is limited.

Skin benefits

  • lipid-conjugated antioxidant tripeptide
  • improved skin penetration vs free glutathione
  • potential tyrosinase modulation
  • thiol-based radical scavenging

Known concerns

  • limited published clinical data on this exact ester
  • stability of thiol group in formulation
  • skin-lightening claims often overstated
  • may oxidize on storage
