About
A rare-earth salt with little normal skincare use, so it gets a cautious score because the topical safety picture is thin.
This ingredient is a rare-earth metal salt, and rare-earth salts have little mainstream cosmetic safety history compared with routine emollients or thickeners. With limited topical data and some potential for irritation as a raw salt, a conservative score is appropriate.
