What it is — Cyanocobalamin (INCI: Cyanocobalamin), also known as Vitamin B12, is a vitamin used for skin and scalp conditioning.

What it does — It is commonly used as vitamin B12, included in vitamin-complex formulas for antioxidant support.

Typical use — It is included in vitamin-complex serums, essences and scalp products for a conditioning, antioxidant-supporting role. Vitamins like this are usually one thread in a wider 'complex' rather than the headline active.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: well-tolerated vitamin. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
