Verdict
Limited cosmetic-specific safety data; similar oxalic acid concerns as other A. carambola derivatives; patch testing recommended for leave-on formulations.. Extracted from the leaves of the starfruit plant (Averrhoa carambola L., Oxalidaceae); contains flavonoids, tannins, and saponins with reported antioxidant and antimicrobial activity; less commonly used than the fruit-derived ingredients.
