About
Raspberry leaf powder — a gentle polyphenol-rich botanical with antioxidant and mild astringent benefits. Solid low-green profile.
Rubus idaeus (raspberry) leaf powder is the dried, milled foliage of the common raspberry plant. It contains ellagitannins, quercetin glycosides, and vitamin C, supporting antioxidant and mild astringent skin-conditioning functions. EU CosIng lists the material, and related Rubus idaeus fruit ingredients have broad food-grade use and reassuring cosmetic precedents. Typical use is 0.1-2%. No CIR monograph specific to the leaf, no IARC concern. Main caveats are the usual tannin-driven astringency on sensitive skin and batch variability. Fragrance-allergen carryover is minimal since the leaf is not a fragrance source.
