For adults, viola tricolor extract (also called wild pansy extract) is generally safe to use on the skin at normal cosmetic levels. Most safety flags are rated low.
If you want to try a product with this extract, first do a small patch test on a forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Stop use right away if you get redness, swelling, itching, or any new skin problem. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of seizures or serious immune problems, talk to your doctor before regular use.
There are a few laboratory studies that suggest possible immune effects (Immunosuppressive activity of an aqueous Viola tricolor extract, 2014) and nervous system effects in animals (Anticonvulsant Activity of Viola tricolor, 2019). These findings were seen in controlled lab studies, not typical adult skin use, but they are the reason to patch test, avoid use if you have a seizure disorder, and check with your healthcare provider if pregnant or breastfeeding.
