Risks & Warnings

Low-risk botanical extract overall, but plant-extract sensitivity or allergy is possible. Because the composition varies by solvent and manufacturer, performance and irritation potential are not fully standardized. Evidence for topical human safety is limited compared with more common cosmetic actives.
