Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols are plant-derived phytosterols used in skincare to soften skin, reinforce the lipid barrier, and stabilize emulsions. They function primarily as a base/formulation conditioning agent rather than a targeted treatment active.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild contact irritation | Rare | Occasional transient redness or stinging, typically in sensitive skin or at higher concentrations. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Isolated sensitization reports; possible in individuals with botanical or Brassicaceae sensitivities. |
Comedogenicity / pore congestion | Rare | Low comedogenic potential; clogging is uncommon but possible in acne-prone skin within rich formulations. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
