About

Deeply nourishing butter from large-leaf redwood tree seeds for softer skin

Rubroshorea macrophylla is a dipterocarp tree native to Southeast Asia, and the seed butter is a plant fat with limited documented safety data in EU or international cosmetic regulatory databases. It is not listed on any EU cosmetic restriction annexes. The ingredient is included in cosmetics primarily for its emollient properties, but it does not have the extensive safety documentation of more commonly used seed butters. This contributes to a slightly lower safety score.

Skin benefits

  • Emollient and occlusive properties typical of seed butters
  • Contains fatty acids beneficial for skin barrier
  • Suitable for anhydrous cosmetic formulations

Known concerns

  • Limited safety documentation compared to food-grade seed butters
  • Understudied for cosmetic-specific applications
