Verdict

Generally considered low-risk as a traditional botanical. No specific restrictions. Standard botanical extract testing (heavy metals, pesticide residues, microbial limits) applies. Derived from Atractylodes chinensis (Asteraceae), known as Cāng Zhú (苍术) in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The rhizome is rich in sesquiterpenoids (atractylone, β-eudesmol, hinesol). Reported to improve rough and dry skin and reduce free-radical damage
