About
A hydrosol of persimmon leaves — a traditional East Asian botanical used for antioxidant and mild astringent effects. Safe; typical hydrosol profile.
Diospyros Kaki Leaf Water (CAS 91721-74-3) is the hydrosol from distillation or aqueous extraction of persimmon (Diospyros kaki) leaves. Persimmon leaves have a long tradition in East Asian herbalism for their tannin and flavonoid content (notably kaempferol, quercetin, and proanthocyanidins), contributing astringent and antioxidant effects. The hydrosol is a milder, water-soluble version of the leaf extract suitable for toners and lotions at 5-30%. Parent plant has food-use and herbal-tea history. No specific CIR review; safety is strong from the natural class profile.
