Brassica Campestris (rapeseed) Sterols are plant-derived phytosterols used in skincare to soften and condition the skin, support the lipid barrier, and stabilize emulsions. They function primarily as emollients and barrier-supporting agents rather than as a treatment active.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Skin irritation or mild redness | Rare | Generally well tolerated; occasional irritation reported, often related to formulation. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Isolated sensitization cases; risk higher in those with botanical or Brassica-family allergies. |
Folliculitis or breakout in acne-prone skin | Rare | Possible in oily/acne-prone individuals due to lipid-rich nature. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
