Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Chinese rhubarb (Rheum palmatum) root fermented by Enterococcus faecium — supplies anthraquinones and stilbenes. Use with awareness: parent plant carries anthraquinone genotoxicity flags and the bacterium needs cosmetic-grade vetting.

Function

SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENTSKIN CONDITIONING

Skin benefits

  • Anthraquinone-derived antioxidants
  • Rhubarb stilbenes (rhaponticin) for skin conditioning
  • Bacterial fermentation modifies and detoxifies anthraquinones
  • Mild astringent action

Known concerns

  • Rheum palmatum contains anthraquinones (emodin, aloe-emodin) with documented genotoxicity concerns at high doses — fermentation reduces but does not eliminate
  • Enterococcus faecium is a clinical-context organism; cosmetic-grade strains must be vetted for absence of pathogenic markers
  • Photosensitivity potential from anthraquinones
  • Limited published cosmetic toxicology
