No Known Risk - Reviewed safety information finds low concern for cancer, allergic or immune effects, and developmental or reproductive harms for this topical plant extract. An industry safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) did note some data gaps and recommends limits on concentration and control of impurities, but no serious hazards were identified for normal skin use.
