Science
Mechanism of Action
This powder functions fundamentally as an absorbent, efficiently taking up finely dispersed substances to control shine and texture. It also serves as an opacifying agent, diminishing transparency and translucency to impart a clouded appearance to formulations. Furthermore, it contributes as a fragrance functional ingredient. While related Gossypium Herbaceum Seed Extract is noted for a range of skin benefits, including moisturizing, soothing, collagen stimulation, and antioxidant protection, these specific therapeutic actions are primarily associated with the extract form, not directly with the powder.

Safety Profile
The CIR Expert Panel assessed Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil and its derivatives as safe with restrictions, but explicitly excluded Cotton (Gossypium Herbaceum) and Cottonseed (Gossypium Herbaceum) Extract from this assessment. No direct safety evaluation for Gossypium Herbaceum Powder by CIR or SCCS has been found. The FDA recommends a patch test for individuals with sensitive skin due to potential individual allergic reactions, though it has not established strict restrictions on its use in cosmetics.
