About TAGETES ERECTA ROOT EXTRACT
A marigold-root extract with antioxidant potential, but root chemistry makes it a bit pricklier than average. Sensitive skin may not love it.
Detailed Analysis
Tagetes species can contain thiophene-related compounds, especially in roots, and those raise irritation and phototoxicity questions more than a standard antioxidant flower extract would. That does not make the ingredient unusable, but it does justify a cautious upper-middle score.
