About
A reduced form of jasmonic acid — a plant hormone derivative used for skin conditioning and gentle exfoliation.
Tetrahydrojasmonic Acid is a hydrogenated derivative of jasmonic acid, a plant stress hormone. CosIng-listed as abrasive and skin conditioning agent. Related to methyl dihydrojasmonate (Hedione) used in perfumery. Jasmonic acid derivatives have been studied for anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. No GHS codes or restrictions. The 'abrasive' function listing is unusual and may relate to exfoliation at acidic pH rather than physical scrubbing.
