About

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

Pyridyloxide t-butylnitrone (also known as PBN or 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane adduct) is a synthetic nitrone compound primarily studied in biomedical research for its antioxidant properties and potential neuroprotective effects. Its use in cosmetic formulations is not well-documented and it does not appear in the EU CosIng database as an authorized cosmetic ingredient. The compound has been the subject of academic research rather than commercial cosmetic development, suggesting limited safety data in topical applications at cosmetic-use concentrations.
