What it is

Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a naturally occurring compound, often grouped with B-complex vitamins. It functions as a nutrient that supports the health of skin, hair, and connective tissues, and is traditionally recognized for its role in pigment synthesis.

How it works

PABA is a precursor for folate synthesis and plays a role in protein metabolism. Its effects on skin and hair are linked to its involvement in cellular processes and antioxidant activity, with visible changes typically observed after 8-12 weeks of consistent use.

Who should take it

Adults looking to address dull skin, hair thinning, premature ageing. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.

Avoid / careful

Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
