About

Pongamol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Note: classified as harmful to aquatic environments. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Pongamol is a flavanone derivative isolated from the seeds of Pongamia pinnata (Indian beech), a plant used in traditional medicine and cosmetics in South Asia. Limited toxicological data are available in the public scientific literature, placing this compound in a data-deficient category. The natural origin does not inherently confer safety; availability of peer-reviewed safety assessments is the limiting factor for cosmetic confidence.

Known concerns

  • Limited publicly available toxicological data
  • Insufficient SCCS/IFRA safety assessment
  • Traditional use does not constitute regulatory safety approval
