Peucedanum Graveolens Extract

Peucedanum graveolens (dill) extract is a botanical extract used for antioxidant/soothing claims, typically at low percentages, but it contains aromatic phytochemicals that can act as irritants or sensitizers in reactive skin. Clinical patch-test literature for Apiaceae-family botanicals shows a non-trivial risk of allergic contact dermatitis (especially in eczema-prone patients), and extract composition varies widely, increasing unpredictability. Given sensitization potential and the need to protect highly sensitive populations, I score it as a notable-risk ingredient that warrants caution and patch testing. Safety Notes: In commercial skincare, Peucedanum graveolens extract is most often used as a minor botanical/soothing-antioxidant component in blends, where it can appear at very low label-levels (~0.0001–0.01%) especially in multi-extract leave-on serums/creams and rinse-off cleansers. Higher concentrations are seen in consumer-available ‘single/botanical-forward’ ampoules, masks, and concentrated essence-type leave-on products, where the extract (as supplied, typically in a solvent like glycerin/butylene glycol) can reach about 0.5–2% before sensorial, odor/color, and irritation/allergen constraints usually limit further increase. No specific FDA/EU maximum is set for this plant extract itself, so observed market usage is primarily driven by supplier guidance and formulation tolerability.
