Is Zantedeschia Aethiopica Flower/Stem Extract clean?

Is Zantedeschia Aethiopica Flower/Stem Extract COSMOS-approved?

How does Zantedeschia Aethiopica Flower/Stem Extract work chemically?

This is a complex botanical extract made up of water- or glycol-soluble plant metabolites rather than one defined molecule, and raw plant tissue is known to contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, so filtration and extract standardization matter. Typical use is supplier-directed and often in the low-percentage range, commonly under 5%, with addition during cool-down to protect sensitive phenolic compounds.
