Taraxacum Mongolicum (Mongolian dandelion) extract derivative is a plant-based ingredient used in skincare for its antioxidant and soothing properties, often attributed to flavonoids and phenolic compounds. The stearate form suggests an esterified or lipid-conjugated derivative intended to improve oil solubility and skin compatibility.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contact irritation (redness, stinging) | Rare | More likely in sensitive skin or at higher concentrations. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Asteraceae/Compositae family plants can cause sensitization in predisposed individuals. |
| Cross-reactivity in ragweed/Compositae-allergic individuals | Very rare | Documented for dandelion-related botanicals due to sesquiterpene lactones. |
