The Formula
Formulation
Stability
For Hypericum perforatum extracts, key constituents like hypericins demonstrate substantial insolubility in water at ambient temperatures. These extracts are also noted to be unstable when exposed to high temperatures. The pH of the formulation medium can influence the chemical composition of extracted compounds. Excipient compatibility studies on Hypericum perforatum have indicated potential physical and chemical stability challenges and possible incompatibilities with certain excipients.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed Hypericum erectum. However, related Hypericum perforatum (St. John's Wort) derived ingredients were deemed safe in leave-on products at concentrations between 0.00002% and 0.07%. A significant consideration for the genus is the photosensitizing compound hypericin, found in Hypericum perforatum, which may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight upon topical application. The FDA has approved hypericin-free alcohol distillate of Hypericum perforatum as a natural flavoring substance in alcoholic beverages only.
