Verdict
Safe and well-tolerated plant extract for topical cosmetic use; rich in flavonoids (epicatechin, gallic acid), vitamin C, and C-glycosylated flavonoids providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory skin benefits; oxalic acid and caramboxin toxicity concerns are oral and renal in nature and not relevant at cosmetic topical concentrations; no CIR review conducted but absence of restrictions across EU CosIng, ECHA, and FDA supports favorable safety profile; suitable for serums, toners, masks, and brightening formulations
US Note
No dedicated FDA or CIR review; regulated as general cosmetic ingredient; no OTC monograph relevance
