Plant sterols. Safe.
Rapeseed sterols are plant sterols isolated from Brassica campestris oil. INCI: Brassica Campestris Sterols. In structure they are close to cholesterol, a key lipid of the skin barrier. In a formula they work as a barrier-support component and emollient: they integrate into the intercellular lipids of the stratum corneum, help hold water, and reduce irritation, so they make sense for dry and reactive skin. They are a useful supporting component with a meaningful lipid rationale. Pregnancy safety. Topical use is systemically negligible, with no evidence of harm. They can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
