Expert Verdict

Limited toxicological data available; as a naturally derived compound from Aloe barbadensis, it has not undergone extensive CIR or SCCS safety evaluation for standalone cosmetic use. Naturally occurring in aloe vera leaves; absorbs UV-B radiation; structurally a cinnamate ester linked to the aloesin (chromone) skeleton. Research interest as a potential natural UV filter, but not yet commercialized as a standalone sunscreen active
