About
A lemon verbena extract with citral content subject to EU Annex III restrictions due to fragrance allergen concerns.
This ingredient covers the broader plant parts of Lippia citrodora and carries the same regulatory concerns as the flower-water-only version. Citral is restricted in EU leave-on cosmetic products due to its classification as a skin sensitization hazard. COSING lists an explicit restriction notice for Annex II entry 450. Rinse-off use at low concentrations is generally considered safe.
