History
editThe molecule was identified and isolated from shark tissues by Professor Takuo Kosuge, Shizuoka College of Pharmacy, Shizuoka, Japan during the 1980s.[4] Based on usage as a traditional folk remedy, it was hypothesised the ingredient may be effective for the treatment of scalds, blemishes and acne.[6][7][8]
Traits
edit5Beta-Scymnol is a hydroxyl (OH) free radical scavenger.[5] Scymnol's role in quenching free radicals may play a role in inhibiting acne.[8][9]
