About

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) tuber — a vitamin- and antioxidant-rich botanical with a clean, food-grade safety profile.

Ipomoea batatas tuber is the edible root of sweet potato. As a cosmetic ingredient it is used as puree, powder or extract, contributing beta-carotene, anthocyanins (in purple cultivars), vitamin C, starch and simple sugars. Antioxidant activity and mild humectancy are the main functional claims. Food-grade history supports a strong safety profile; no EU restrictions. Anthocyanin-pigmented varieties can stain, and some botanical extracts may vary in composition by cultivar and processing.
