Insufficient Data CAS 90046-02-9 / FRAGRANCE, PERFUMING, TONIC

Juniperus Oxycedrus Fruit Extract, derived from the cade juniper, is characterized by its significant antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. While direct human clinical data for this specific species is limited, it is often considered alongside Juniperus communis, which has demonstrated benefits in skin brightening and spot reduction.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract primarily functions as a potent antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals and combat oxidative stress within the skin. It also exhibits inherent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions, which can contribute to a healthier skin barrier and reduced irritation. Drawing parallels from Juniperus communis, a related species, it may also aid in balancing sebum production, purifying the skin, and enhancing overall radiance by inhibiting lipofuscin accumulation.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Moderate

The CIR Expert Panel determined there was insufficient data to conclude the safety of Juniperus Oxycedrus Fruit Extract for cosmetic use, requesting additional information on concentration, manufacturing methods, impurities, UV absorption, and toxicity data. While Juniperus communis berry oil is GRAS for food and juniper tar is approved for certain OTC drug products by the FDA, these classifications do not directly extend to Juniperus oxycedrus fruit extract in cosmetic applications. The ingredient also carries a 'medium' potential for irritancy.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While Juniperus Oxycedrus Fruit Extract offers potential antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory benefits, with some evidence for skin brightening from a related species, its overall efficacy and safety for cosmetic use remain uncertain due to an 'insufficient data' status from the CIR Expert Panel and limited direct human clinical trials.
