Overview

Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that is commercially produced through bacterial fermentation.

Commonly used in medicine as an injectable source of the vitamin, it may also have applications in skincare. It is thought that cyanocobalamin, when applied topically to the skin, can positively impact cell production.

This compound might also have anti-inflammatory effects and help reduce dryness of the skin. However, more studies must be performed to validate these types of claims.
