About

S-Syringoyl Acetyl Methyl Cysteinate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

S-Syringoyl Acetyl Methyl Cysteinate is a syringic acid derivative conjugated with a cysteine methyl ester moiety. The compound is used in hair-care and skin-care applications as an antioxidant and conditioning agent. No CAS number is assigned and it is not listed in EU CosIng Annexes with specific restrictions, suggesting it has no identified safety concern at current uses. Its parent compound syringic acid (a phenolic acid) has demonstrated low toxicity in available studies, and the cysteine conjugation is not expected to introduce significant hazard.
