For adults: this black currant bud extract is usually safe on the skin. Most concerns are low, but there is limited evidence it can cause mild irritation and that it may help other ingredients get through the skin.
Before using a new product with this ingredient, put a small amount on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Avoid putting it on cuts or raw skin. Use the smallest amount that works, and stop using it if you get redness, itching, or swelling. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have very sensitive skin, talk with your healthcare provider first.
There is limited evidence from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) noting possible irritation and that this ingredient can act as a penetration enhancer; ECHA also has a record classifying non-reproductive organ system toxicity as toxic or harmful (details are limited). Watch for any skin irritation, keep products away from eyes, and do not use on broken skin. If you experience breathing problems, swelling, or severe reactions, seek medical help. Keep products containing this ingredient out of reach of children.
