For adults, yucca root extract is generally safe to use on the skin. The safety listing we reviewed shows low concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on reproduction or development. Most adults will not have problems, though some people with very sensitive skin could get irritation.
If you are an adult using a product with yucca root extract: do a small patch test first (apply a little on the inside of your forearm and wait 24–48 hours). Use the product as directed, avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin, and keep it away from your eyes. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and worried, talk with your health care provider.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, or any new rash — stop use if these occur. The ingredient safety listing we reviewed notes low-level allergy and irritation concerns, so people with plant allergies or very sensitive skin should be extra cautious. If you have a known allergy to related plants, avoid use and consult a clinician.
