Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract
Solanum Melongena Fruit Extract
A botanical extract from eggplant fruit (Solanum melongena) used in cosmetics as a skin-conditioning and skin-protecting ingredient. It is generally valued for lightweight antioxidant and conditioning support rather than strong pharmacologic activity. The extract is typically incorporated into water-based or glycerin-based formulas and is considered a low-risk cosmetic ingredient overall.

Risks & Warnings
Possible concerns include rare sensitivity or contact irritation in individuals who react to nightshade-family botanicals. As with most botanical extracts, the overall formula matters more than the extract itself; irritation is more likely if the product also contains strong acids, fragrance, or a high solvent load. No specific pregnancy-related concerns are established for routine topical cosmetic use.
