For adults, hibiscus flower extract is generally safe to use on the skin. It is used in lotions and serums for conditioning and antioxidant benefits and is rated as low concern by public ingredient safety checkers.
Use products that list this extract as directed on the label. Before first use, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or itching. Avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using the extract in concentrated form (not a normal cosmetic), talk to your healthcare provider.
A public cosmetic ingredient safety database notes low-level concerns for allergies, cancer and reproductive effects, but these are scored as low. The main thing to watch for is skin sensitivity: if you get redness, itching, swelling, or a rash, stop using the product and see a doctor if it’s severe. Avoid getting the product in the eyes or mouth, and keep all cosmetic products out of reach of children.
