adults • Skin contact product
For adults, this plant extract is usually fine on the skin, but it can trigger irritation or an allergy in some people.
Patch test first (a pea-sized amount on the inner arm for 24 hours). Start with a small amount and use it a few times a week before daily use. Avoid broken or freshly shaved skin. Stop right away if you notice redness, stinging, itching, or a rash. Try not to layer lots of different plant extracts at the same time.
Skin allergy risk is reported by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. There are data gaps noted by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review, so use with care. It is also used in foods even though safety information is limited, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration—so avoid overuse from many products at once.
