About

A fine powder made from dried broccoli stems, used as a natural scrub agent and source of antioxidants in skincare formulations.

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea Italica Group) stem powder is a plant-derived ingredient with no specific restrictions under EU cosmetics regulation. It contains vitamins, flavonoids and fibre components. As a food-origin ingredient used in cosmetics, it is considered safe in rinse-off applications. No allergen declaration is required for broccoli specifically, though cross-reactivity with other brassica allergens is theoretically possible.

Skin benefits

  • Rich in Vitamin C and flavonoids with antioxidant activity
  • Dietary fibre components may absorb excess oil
  • Used as natural exfoliant in scrub formulations

Known concerns

  • Cross-reactivity risk with other brassica allergens (low)
  • Abrasive particles may irritate sensitive or broken skin
