About

A specialty organic compound that acts as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent — used in anti-aging formulations, though data on it is sparse.

This ingredient is a Schiff base-type organic compound formed from a methoxyphenylimine and a dimethylcyclohexenyl moiety linked to an ethyl glycinate ester. The structure suggests potential antioxidant activity, possibly protecting skin from oxidative stress. Published cosmetic formulation data is very limited; it is not listed in major regulatory inventories with widespread restrictions. A precautionary safety cap of ~52 is applied given the novelty of use.
