About

Palmitoyl Methoxytryptamine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Palmitoyl Methoxytryptamine is a lipophilic amide combining palmitic acid (C16) with a methoxy-substituted tryptamine moiety. The structure is analogous to other palmitoyl amino acid derivatives used in cosmetic anti-aging formulations (e.g., palmitoyl peptides). Tryptamine derivatives are not individually restricted in EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 Annexes II–VI when used as cosmetic ingredients, and the amide linkage to a fatty acid reduces any potential pharmacological activity.

Skin benefits
