Ingredient

malachite extract

Low risk

FunctionBotanical

What it is

Malachite extract is a specialty ingredient used in cosmetics for antioxidant-style, "detoxifying" claims. Sourcing can vary between suppliers, and it is often associated with copper-rich material, so its exact origin should be confirmed on a given product.

What it does

It is included for antioxidant support and is marketed around a purifying, protective feel, particularly in products themed on pollution defence. These are cosmetic, appearance-level positioning rather than proven effects.

Typical use

Appears at low levels in serums, masks and moisturisers as a supporting additive.

Safety

Graded low risk in this catalogue as an extract that is generally well tolerated at cosmetic levels. Because sourcing and composition can vary, patch-test a finished product first, especially if your skin is sensitive. This is general information, not medical advice.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - botanical extract/water, generally well tolerated.
