Sensitization risk Moderate

The CIR Expert Panel concluded that Rosa Canina-derived ingredients are safe in present practices of use and concentration, provided they are formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing. Formulators should consider cumulative levels of Rosa Canina constituents if multiple botanicals are used in a product. The FDA recognizes rose fruit (hips) as generally safe for food consumption, but no SCCS status is found for the flower extract. Potential for discomfort in sensitive individuals has been observed at concentrations as low as 0.005%.
