URT

5/10

Concern level

Moderate concern

Urtica dioica leaf extract is a botanical extract from nettle leaves used in skincare for general skin-conditioning and potential soothing or antioxidant support. The available source here confirms Urtica dioica as a botanical substance, but it does not provide robust cosmetic-use concentration data for the leaf extract, so conservative values are used.

Risks & Warnings

Botanical extracts may trigger irritation or allergy in sensitive users, and nettle-derived materials can be problematic in very reactive skin. Because extract standardization varies widely, irritation risk depends on solvent system and total botanical load.
