Verdict
Well-regarded anti-inflammatory and antioxidant botanical (Burdock root) with EMA herbal assessment. Good tolerability profile at typical cosmetic concentrations. Asteraceae sensitization flag warrants CoA sesquiterpene lactone content data for leave-on products above 0.5%. No SCCS/CIR dossier — full safety documentation burden on formulator. Request sesquiterpene lactone-mix content on supplier CoA.
US Note
No FDA restriction; no CIR monograph for root extract (seed oil reviewed separately, 2011); MoCRA product listing applies
