About
Loquat seed powder — from apricot-like seeds that may contain cyanogenic glycosides, requiring careful processing to be safe.
Eriobotrya japonica (loquat) seed powder is obtained from dried, ground loquat seeds. The seeds may contain cyanogenic glycosides (amygdalin) which can release hydrogen cyanide under certain conditions. Proper processing and dilution in cosmetic formulations mitigate this risk. Traditional use of loquat seeds in skin care has been documented, but caution is advised for sensitized individuals.
