About
A very niche antioxidant and oil-control ingredient that comes with a plausible photosensitization concern.
This chlorin e6 conjugate is better known by the chemistry of photosensitizers than by a long history of everyday cosmetic use. Even if dark toxicity is not necessarily high, the possibility of light-reactive skin effects and the lack of broad public cosmetic safety data keep it in a cautious middle range.
