About

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

Piperlonguminine is an amide alkaloid isolated from Piper longum (long pepper). While studied for anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, it has limited published safety data for topical cosmetic applications. Not restricted under EU cosmetics regulation but lacks the extensive safety dataset required for common cosmetic ingredients.
