Safety score · 0–100

Moderate

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

Ovalicin is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Ovalicin is a sesquiterpene metabolite produced by certain fungi, first isolated from Pseudorotium ovalis, with documented anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. It has been investigated for pharmaceutical applications but has limited history as a cosmetic ingredient. It is not clearly listed in CosIng, and its safety profile for repeated topical cosmetic use lacks comprehensive evaluation. The natural/fungal origin also introduces variability and potential contamination concerns.
