Pongamol, also known as 1-(4-Methoxy-5-benzofuranyl)-3-phenyl-1,3-propanedione, is a mineral derived from the plant Pongamia pinnata, which is found mainly in Asia. This substance is characterized by its biological activity, through which it affects various biological processes in the human body.
One of the main fields where pongamol is used is the cosmetic industry. Thanks to its antibacterial and antioxidant properties, pongamol is often included in the composition of various creams, shampoos and body lotions, where it serves, among other things, as a protection against UV damage to the skin. Its antioxidant effects help to alleviate the effects of UV stress and promote skin regeneration. In addition, due to its ability to inhibit the growth of certain types of bacteria and fungi, pongamol is also used in some antiseptic products. It is also used in the manufacture of insecticides where it inhibits the growth and reproduction of certain insects.
Although pongamol offers a number of useful applications in various fields, it is important to note that like any other substance, it can cause side effects in the event of an overdose or allergic reaction. Therefore, it is important to always study the ingredients of products thoroughly and, if necessary, consult a professional when using products containing pongamol.
