About

Danti root powder, an Ayurvedic medicinal plant with purgative and anti-inflammatory properties, containing potentially toxic diterpenes.

Baliospermum montanum contains diterpenoids including baliospermin and phorbol esters. Phorbol esters are tumour promoters and are restricted in cosmetic use in some jurisdictions. The plant has a documented irritant and purgative profile in Ayurvedic medicine. Limited toxicological data are available for topical use in the EU context. The ingredient is not listed in EU Annex II (banned list), but its phorbol ester content represents a meaningful concern requiring careful safety evaluation.

Skin benefits

  • Traditional use for skin inflammation and arthritis
  • Diterpenoid constituents have anti-inflammatory activity

Known concerns

  • Phorbol esters present; potential tumour-promotion activity at high doses
  • Limited toxicological data; use at low concentrations only
  • Documented irritant effects in traditional use; patch testing advisable
