About

Delicate powder from Chinese forget-me-not seeds, known for skin-softening properties

Cynoglossum amabile belongs to the Boraginaceae family, which is known for containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). PAs are hepatotoxic, genotoxic, and potentially carcinogenic. Several Cynoglossum species are subject to regulatory restrictions in cosmetics due to PA content. While specific testing data for C. amabile seed powder may be limited, the genus association with PA-containing species and EU regulatory guidance on herbal ingredients in this family results in a significantly lower safety score. EU CosIng may have restricted entries for Cynoglossum-derived ingredients.

Known concerns

  • Genus known to contain hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs)
  • PAs are potentially carcinogenic and genotoxic
  • Banned or restricted in cosmetics in multiple regulatory jurisdictions
  • Significant EU regulatory concern — score reflects high-risk classification
