About

A class of enzymes that catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions, used in cosmetics for antioxidant and skin-conditioning effects.

Oxido Reductases (CAS 9055-15-6) are a broad class of enzymes that catalyze oxidation and reduction reactions. In cosmetics, they may be derived from yeast fermentation and are used for their ability to interact with oxidative processes in skin. Enzyme safety in cosmetics depends on the specific enzyme, source organism, and purity. The EU Cosmetics Regulation requires microbial purity standards and enzyme activity limits. General concerns include sensitization potential and activity control. Used in anti-aging and antioxidant formulations where their redox properties may benefit skin. No specific EU restriction on oxido reductases as a class.

Skin benefits

  • Antioxidant activity
  • May support skin cellular energy processes
  • Used in anti-aging formulations

Known concerns

  • Sensitization potential in susceptible individuals
  • Enzyme activity must be controlled
  • Source organism considerations (yeast-based typically safe)
