About
A plant-derived ingredient that helps condition skin and support hydration.
This botanical juice comes from Petasites japonicus, a species family that can be associated with pyrrolizidine alkaloid concerns if purification is poor. Topical exposure is lower than oral exposure, but unless the raw material is clearly PA-depleted and well characterized, a conservative score is the safer call.
Function
Skin benefits
- Helps attract and hold moisture in the skin
- Helps keep skin soft and smooth
Known concerns
- May contain pyrrolizidine alkaloid-type impurities if not well purified.
- Plant juices can irritate sensitive skin.
