Safety score · 0–100
Moderate
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A laboratory analog of the broccoli-derived antioxidant sulforaphane. The class is interesting for skin defense research, but this specific compound has very little published safety or efficacy data.
Function
Skin benefits
- Structurally related to sulforaphane, a known antioxidant from cruciferous vegetables
- Class shows Nrf2 antioxidant pathway induction in lab studies
- May offer protection against oxidative and UV-induced skin stress in research
- Potential novel active ingredient for skin defense formulations
Known concerns
- Very limited published cosmetic safety data for this specific molecule
- Thiourea-related groups can be skin sensitizers in some structures
- No CIR, SCCS, or comparable regulatory opinion identified
- Synthesis quality and impurities are not publicly characterized
