Mimosa Tenuiflora Bark Extract

MIM

7/10

Concern level

High concern

Botanical solvent extract obtained from the bark of Mimosa tenuiflora (tepezcohuite). In cosmetics it is primarily used for skin-protecting and soothing purposes, and is often included in restorative, after-sun, and barrier-support products. The ingredient is a plant extract rather than a single defined molecule, so standardized physicochemical values such as molecular weight and pH range are not well established.

Risks & Warnings

Generally low-risk in topical cosmetics, but botanical extracts can still trigger irritation or allergic contact dermatitis in sensitized individuals. Use caution in people with legume-family allergies or highly reactive skin. The raw plant is associated in some sources with alkaloids in bark material; cosmetic-grade extracts should be quality-controlled and intended for topical use only.
