Safety score · 0–100

Good

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

Water from Rheum rhaponticum (rhapontic rhubarb) fruit, an aqueous distillate of a stilbene-rich plant. Rhubarb extracts are documented to support hydration, ceramide production, and antioxidant defense in the skin.

Skin benefits

  • Hydrosol with stilbenes such as rhaponticin
  • Linked to improved skin moisturization and ceramide synthesis
  • Antioxidant and tyrosinase-modulating activity in published studies

Known concerns

  • Most data is on root or rhizome extract rather than fruit water specifically
  • Microbial preservation needed for aqueous botanical distillates
  • Possible sensitization in users allergic to Polygonaceae
