TRI

4/10

Concern level

Moderate concern

Botanical wheat-seed extract used primarily as a skin-conditioning ingredient. It is a complex mixture of water-soluble and/or solvent-extracted wheat seed constituents, commonly included for moisturization, emollience, and a softening skin feel. CIR notes wheat-derived ingredients including Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Seed Extract are used as skin-conditioning agents, but the Panel concluded the available data are insufficient to determine safety under intended cosmetic conditions.

Interactions

incompatible with: No specific chemical incompatibilities are established; use caution in products marketed for very sensitive or wheat-allergic consumers., Avoid relying on it as an active in low-pH exfoliating systems because it is a botanical conditioning extract, not a pH-stable active.

Risks & Warnings

Main concern is potential sensitization or irritation in wheat-allergic or highly reactive individuals; botanical extracts may also vary in composition by source and processing. The CIR safety assessment for wheat-derived ingredients concluded data are insufficient for a safety determination, and recommends good manufacturing practices to limit impurities.
