Comedogenic Rating

This ingredient is not typically evaluated for comedogenicity, and no standardized rating is available.

Safety

Avoid inhaling fine powder and patch test before use; plant material and mild abrasiveness can irritate sensitive or compromised skin. Generally safe when used as directed in wash-off products.

Is Houttuynia Cordata Powder a Good Ingredient?

It's Fair because the whole-plant powder in rinse-off formats can offer a mild comforting feel, but active delivery is limited compared with standardized extracts. There's also a risk of mechanical irritation from particulates and potential botanical allergens, which keeps this at Fair.
