Potassium Phosphate Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) Water
Ingredient Info
This is a water-based solution containing Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) stabilized with potassium phosphate. Vitamin B12 is included in skincare for its potential to support skin energy production and maintain a healthy skin barrier, though its effectiveness in topical form is limited compared to oral supplements.
Benefits
- May support skin cell energy metabolism
- Antioxidant properties that could help protect skin from environmental stress
- Generally well-tolerated and non-irritating for most skin types
Potential concerns
- Minimal absorption through the skin barrier in topical application
- Rare sensitivity in individuals with B12 sensitivities (very uncommon)
Science: Limited peer-reviewed data available specifically for topical cyanocobalamin in skincare formulations. Vitamin B12 is recognized as safe in cosmetics, but evidence for meaningful skincare benefits via topical application is modest compared to other ingredients.
