About
A plant-derived conditioning ingredient that is usually low risk, though sensitive skin can still react.
This root extract comes from a Stephania species, a plant group known for bioactive alkaloids. That does not automatically make topical use unsafe, but public cosmetic safety data are limited enough that a conservative mid-range score is more honest than treating it like a bland antioxidant extract.
