Science
Mechanism of Action
The primary mechanism of Liatris Odoratissima Leaf Extract involves imparting a distinct fragrance to cosmetic products and the skin, largely due to the natural presence of coumarin in the plant's leaves. Additionally, it contributes to maintaining the skin's overall condition through its conditioning properties.

As a general plant extract, Liatris Odoratissima Leaf Extract may be susceptible to degradation from environmental factors like temperature, pH fluctuations, pressure, oxygen exposure, and light, which can diminish its concentration, bioactivity, and overall stability.
Safety
Safety Profile
Liatris Odoratissima Leaf Extract has not undergone direct safety review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) or Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS). However, it contains coumarin, a known fragrance allergen. The safety of coumarin has been assessed by the REXPAN, leading to IFRA Standards that restrict its use in fragrances due to sensitization potential. The SCCS reported allergic reactions to coumarin in 1.2% to 6.8% of patients with suspected fragrance contact allergy. Risk assessments suggest varying allergy risk, from low at 0.1% in a face cream to high at 1% in a deodorant.

Verdict
Despite offering fragrance and minor skin conditioning, the high risk of allergic sensitization from its coumarin content makes Liatris Odoratissima Leaf Extract unsuitable for precision skincare formulations.
