About

A vitamin B6 derivative used for skin and hair conditioning that functions as an antioxidant and antistatic agent, this ingredient is generally safe but has limited cosmetic usage data.

Pyridoxine Dioctenoate is a vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) derivative where the vitamin is esterified with octenoic acid, used for its skin conditioning and antistatic properties. In the EU, vitamin B6 and its derivatives are permitted for cosmetic use without specific restriction under the Cosmetics Regulation; however, the CosIng entry shows an unrelated 'ozone layer depletion' restriction artifact. Vitamin B6 derivatives are evaluated by SCCS as safe in cosmetic products at concentrations up to 1% for topical application.
