About
Lindera spicebush distillate — Korean botanical promoted as soothing. Limited published data.
Lindera obtusiloba (Korean spicebush) branch/leaf water is an aqueous distillate from a species used in traditional Korean medicine. Phytochemical studies describe lignans and flavonoids with antioxidant activity, but cosmetic safety data is mostly supplier-driven. No CIR or SCCS monograph is published. At typical inclusion levels (1-5% of an aqueous phase) it is well tolerated, with rare botanical-specific reactions. Not EU-restricted.
