About
Noni (Morinda citrifolia) leaf powder — a traditional Polynesian botanical milled from the leaves, used for antioxidant and skin-conditioning effects.
Morinda citrifolia leaf powder is produced by drying and milling noni leaves. It provides iridoid glycosides, scopoletin, and flavonoids with antioxidant potential, plus light absorbent/bulking function. EU CosIng lists the ingredient without restriction and no GHS hazard class is assigned. Oral noni products have rare reported hepatotoxicity cases, but topical cosmetic use has not been implicated. Cosmetic-specific safety data is thin and the raw material carries a characteristic odor.
