About JACOBAEA VULGARIS EXTRACT
A plant-derived extract used mostly for antioxidant support and general skin conditioning.
Detailed Analysis
Jacobaea vulgaris is a ragwort-type botanical associated with pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which are toxicologically uncomfortable compounds even if topical exposure is far below oral exposure. Unless purification and alkaloid removal are extremely well controlled, this is not the kind of plant extract that deserves a generous safety score.
