Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

Specific cosmetic ingredient safety data for Porphobilinogen Lactam (CIR, SCCS, FDA status) is currently unavailable. It is important to note that the parent compound, Porphobilinogen, a natural intermediate in heme biosynthesis, can act as a phototoxin, neurotoxin, and metabotoxin at chronically high systemic levels, and is a biomarker for porphyria. The safety profile of the lactam form in topical applications requires further dedicated investigation.
