US Notes
FDA does not pre-approve. Used in cosmetics as a self-preserving aid. Not an official FDA-recognized preservative. Some commercial grapefruit seed extracts have been found to contain synthetic antimicrobials (e.g., benzethonium chloride, methylparaben) as adulterants — supply chain verification critical.
