About

Conditioning powder from dried Virola sebifera seeds for smoother skin

Virola sebifera seed powder is from the same genus as Virola surinamensis. The Virola genus is known to contain potentially toxic compounds — notably, some species contain dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and other bioactive alkaloids primarily in bark and leaves rather than seeds. The seed form is less studied for cosmetic use. Limited regulatory documentation exists for this ingredient. The combination of a genus with known toxic species and insufficient safety data results in a lower score.

  • Traditional use suggests emollient properties

Known concerns
