Expert Verdict

Very limited toxicological data available. The genus Melampyrum contains iridoid glycosides (e.g., aucubin) which are generally low-toxicity but lack cosmetic-specific safety assessments. A CPSR assessor will likely require in-vitro irritation data, patch test data, and compositional analysis. Not recommended without supplier-provided safety dossier.
