Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Leaf Extract is a plant-derived ingredient rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins used in skincare for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties. It is commonly added to soothe and protect skin, though robust clinical evidence for cosmetic efficacy is limited.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mild skin irritation or redness | Rare | Possible in sensitive individuals, often related to tannin content or formulation. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Botanical extracts can occasionally trigger sensitization in predisposed individuals. |
| Itching or contact urticaria | Very rare | Isolated reports; more likely with known plant allergies. |
