About
A saponin glycoside from Sanguisorba officinalis (burnet) root used as a skin-conditioning botanical. Modest data base; generally well tolerated.
Ziyu Glycoside III is a triterpenoid saponin isolated from Sanguisorba officinalis (Ziyu) root, long used in East Asian traditional medicine. In cosmetics it is marketed for skin conditioning and antioxidant properties. Published toxicological review specific to cosmetic use is sparse, with no CIR or SCCS monograph. No GHS classification is assigned, and the ingredient is not on EU Annex II/III restriction lists. Finished-product irritation and sensitization depend on extract purity, saponin concentration, and formulation pH.
