About

Graviola fruit is used in cosmetics for its vitamin C content and purported antioxidant properties, though its safety profile is debated.

Annona muricata (soursop/graviola) fruit contains acetogenins (annonaceous acetogenins), vitamins, and minerals. While the fruit pulp is widely consumed, there is ongoing scientific debate about the safety of chronic consumption of acetogenins, with some studies suggesting potential neurotoxic effects at high doses. The PubChem score of 80 reflects moderate safety concerns. Topical cosmetic use of diluted extracts is generally considered safe, though use of concentrated graviola extracts should be approached with caution.
