About
Dried, ground leaves of false daisy, used as a scalp- and skin-conditioning botanical. Considered low-risk topically; mostly traditional evidence with mild cosmetic-level data.
Eclipta prostrata leaf powder (CAS 93165-22-1) is derived from false daisy, a plant long used in Ayurveda for hair and scalp care. Chemically it supplies flavonoids, coumestans (notably wedelolactone), triterpenoid saponins, and minor minerals. In cosmetics it is used for skin conditioning, scalp support, and anti-dandruff claims. Current data points to a high topical safety profile at cosmetic levels and a low allergy rate; specific CIR or SCCS monographs are not published for this species. Like other Asteraceae botanicals, very rare cross-sensitization is theoretically possible.
