A coenzyme of cell metabolism. It joins a cofactor complex to support skin. Well tolerated.
Topical application
BLimited evidence. One RCT or several controlled studies with limitations.
A coenzyme cofactor. Safe.
Coenzyme A is a coenzyme involved in fatty-acid metabolism and cellular energy reactions. INCI: Coenzyme A. In cosmetics it is marketed as a component for cellular energy and renewal. The biological role of coenzyme A inside the cell is large, but that is about metabolism inside the cell, while cosmetics act on the outside. Topical clinical data that applying coenzyme A to skin gives a measurable result are scarce, so it is a supporting component rather than a lead active with a proven effect. Promises of cellular energy should be read with restraint. Pregnancy safety. Topical use, low systemic absorption, no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low.
