Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Seed Oil is a plant-derived oil rich in fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic) used in cosmetics as an emollient and occlusive to soften skin and reduce moisture loss. It functions primarily as a base/carrier ingredient rather than a targeted treatment active.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild skin irritation or redness | Uncommon | Generally well tolerated; occasional irritation reported in sensitive individuals. |
Comedogenicity (pore clogging) | Uncommon | Higher oleic acid content may contribute to congestion in acne-prone skin. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Hypersensitivity reactions to rapeseed-derived components are infrequent. |
Cross-reactivity in mustard/Brassica-allergic individuals | Very rare | Theoretical concern for those with known Brassica plant allergies. |
