Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically reviewed LOTUS MARITIMUS FLOWER/LEAF/STEM EXTRACT. While some safety data exists for Nelumbo nucifera-derived ingredients, showing no irritation in patch tests up to 4% combined extract, this information is not directly applicable to Lotus maritimus. Comprehensive safety data specific to this extract is currently unavailable from CIR, SCCS, or FDA.
