About

Noni fruit water used in traditional skincare for its clarifying and purifying properties.

Morinda citrifolia (noni) fruit water is listed in the EU CosIng database under the category 'skin conditioning' without restriction. While noni fruit contains anthraquinones (notably damnacanthal), steam distillation significantly reduces these compounds to trace levels. The SCCS has not issued a specific opinion on noni fruit water as a cosmetic ingredient, and no concentration limits are specified in EU Annexes.

Skin benefits

  • Contains polysaccharides with moisturizing properties
  • Antioxidant compounds from phenolic fraction
  • Traditional use for skin nourishing

Known concerns

  • Contains trace anthraquinones from the plant matrix
  • Mild irritation reported in very sensitive individuals
  • Uncommon in EU cosmetics so long-term safety data is limited
