Verdict

Safe for cosmetic use at standard concentrations. Well-tolerated skin-conditioning, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory ingredient with a long history of traditional use (Dong Quai/TCM). Primary consideration is furanocoumarin-mediated phototoxicity, managed by EU regulatory limits (≤1 mg/kg total furanocoumarins in finished product). EWG hazard score: all LOW categories with FAIR data. No banned or restricted status in EU or US. Suitable for general rinse-off and leave-on formulations when furanocoumarin levels are controlled; caution advised in high-concentration leave-on sun-exposed products.

US Note
