About

Scymnol is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Scymnol is a naturally occurring bile acid derivative primarily studied for its role in hepatobiliary function and cholesterol metabolism. In cosmetics, it functions as an antioxidant and conditioning agent with no EU restrictions on record. Limited toxicological data is available, but its endogenous origin and metabolic pathway suggest low concern at typical cosmetic concentrations.
