About

Parsley leaf powder is a nutrient-dense culinary botanical with antioxidant and vitamin content, though it contains furanocoumarins that can cause photosensitivity at high concentrations.

Petroselinum sativum (parsley) leaf contains flavonoids, vitamin C, and carotenoids, alongside furanocoumarins such as bergapten. Furanocoumarins are photosensitising compounds that can cause phytophotodermatitis upon UV exposure. EU cosmetics law does not specifically restrict parsley leaf powder, but bergapten is monitored in the context of sun-care and phototoxicity. At typical cosmetic concentrations in rinse-off or leave-on products not designed for sun exposure, the risk is minimal.
