Pelargonic acid (also called as nonanoic acid), a naturally found in a variety of plants and food products is a cosmetic ingredient, that function as skin-conditioning agent. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved pelargonic acid as a food additive, and as an ingredient in solutions used commercially to peel fruits and vegetables. FDA considers it safe for humans to eat food containing small amounts of pelargonic acid.
