About
A leafy plant extract used for conditioning, but the source plant is known for naturally irritating oxalate-rich tissue.
As a botanical extract it may add antioxidants and conditioning compounds, yet colocasia leaves are naturally associated with calcium oxalate crystals before processing. Cosmetic extracts are likely refined, but the source plant gives it a more cautious profile than a bland fruit extract.
