About

Alangium salviifolium bark contains potentially bioactive alkaloids with traditional medicinal uses, but limited safety data for cosmetics makes it a higher-risk choice.

Alangium salviifolium (family Alangiaceae) bark contains alkaloids including alangine and related compounds that have documented pharmacological activities in traditional medicine. The bark has been used for skin conditions in traditional systems. Limited comprehensive toxicological data exist for cosmetic use of this specific species, representing an uncertainty factor. Under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 Article 3 (general safety requirement), the limited data available is a concern requiring careful safety assessment before use.
