About
TETRAHYDROPIPERINE is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulation. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Tetrahydropiperine is a reduced form of piperine (the active principle of black pepper). The tetrahydropyridine ring system indicates partial saturation of the original pyridine ring. Limited toxicological data exists for this specific compound in cosmetic applications. While piperine itself has skin penetration enhancement properties, this tetrahydrogenated derivative may have different activity. No EU restriction is documented, but safety assessment is limited.
Known concerns
- Limited specific cosmetic safety data
- Natural alkaloid derivative requiring evaluation
- Unclear EU regulatory status
