About

A dried and ground white sage plant material popular in natural skincare for its purported purifying and soothing properties.

Salvia apiana (white sage) powder is a plant matrix containing volatile compounds including camphor, 1,8-cineole, and various terpenes. The EU CosIng database does not list specific restrictions for this ingredient, but whole-plant powders with no defined purity present variable risk profiles. Known to contain potential fragrance allergens and sensitizing terpenes; however, used topically in diluted forms it presents minimal acute risk.

Skin benefits

  • Astringent properties for oily or acne-prone skin
  • Traditional antimicrobial use in folk medicine
  • Contains ursolic acid with anti-inflammatory activity

Known concerns

  • Contains camphor and 1,8-cineole which are potential respiratory and skin sensitizers
  • Whole plant matrix lacks standardized purity or concentration parameters
