For adults, phytosterols (plant fats used in skin creams) are generally safe when used in normal amounts. Safety reviews find only low-level concerns.
Before using a new product with phytosterols, try a small patch on your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products as directed and avoid applying to raw or badly broken skin. If you have a known plant or botanical allergy, check the product label carefully and consider asking your doctor or dermatologist.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, blisters, or breathing problems — stop use and seek medical help if these happen. Industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note recommendations about concentration limits and purity; avoid homemade mixes or very high-strength formulas that could increase risk from impurities.
