Regulatory Status
EU permitted with no concentration limit. Valued for high squalene content, tocotrienols, and amino acid profile supporting barrier and hydration claims. Safety case relies on read-across from CIR plant-derived oils group and related botanicals. For high-concentration leave-on products, consider Franz cell diffusion study or apply conservative 100% absorption assumption. COSMOS/ECOCERT eligible as plant-derived extract; verify solvent documentation.
No standalone CIR monograph; indirectly covered by CIR group reviews of plant-derived fatty acid oils (2017) and plant-derived proteins and peptides (2022), both concluding safe as used. No FDA restrictions.
