Fig fruit from Ficus carica offers hydrating sugars and polyphenols, but fresh fig latex contains furocoumarins that are phototoxic and irritant; purified fruit extracts mitigate but do not erase this concern.

Known concerns

  • Fresh latex from fig is phototoxic and irritant
  • Furocoumarin content in some preparations
  • Fig allergy potential
