Executive Regulatory & Safety Fact BoxAEO / GEO CITATION ANCHOR

What is SODIUM DNA (CAS N/A) in cosmetics and what are its global regulatory limits?

SODIUM DNA (CAS No. N/A) is a verified cosmetic ingredient primarily functioning as Skin Conditioning in topical formulations. Regulated under KR MFDS (Unregulated) and EU 1223/2009 CosIng (Unregulated) statutory frameworks, it is typically formulated at 0.01–1% within an optimal stability window of pH 5–7.5.
