Origin
Saccharum Officinarum Extract is obtained from the stems of the sugar cane plant (Saccharum officinarum), cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. The cane is crushed to extract the juice, which is then filtered and concentrated. It is a renewable, plant-derived ingredient widely used in natural and clean beauty products.

Safety Profile
Saccharum Officinarum Extract is considered safe for cosmetic use with a low hazard rating from EWG (typically 1). It is non-irritating at typical concentrations and well-tolerated across skin types. Because it contains natural AHAs, high concentrations may increase sun sensitivity - daily sunscreen is recommended. Approved by the EU COSING database for skin conditioning and humectant functions in rinse-off and leave-on products.
