Expert Verdict

Limited published safety data; raw taro contains calcium oxalate (irritant), but fermentation and filtration should eliminate this; glycerin co-substrate is well-established as safe. Derived from taro root (Colocasia esculenta); fermentation with glycerin increases nutrient bioavailability and creates a moisture-retaining filtrate; the production process involves controlled Bacillus fermentation breaking down root polysaccharides and glycerin into skin-absorbable bioactives
