ALANGIUM SALVIIFOLIUM BARK EXTRACT

Description

Alangium salviifolium bark extract is a botanical ingredient derived from the bark of Alangium salviifolium, a small tree native to parts of Asia. This extract has garnered attention in skincare formulations due to its potential therapeutic properties. Rich in bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds, Alangium salviifolium bark extract exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Research suggests that this extract may help protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage. Its anti-inflammatory properties could potentially aid in soothing irritated skin and reducing redness. Some studies indicate that Alangium salviifolium bark extract may possess antimicrobial qualities, which could be beneficial in formulations targeting acne-prone skin.

The extract is also being investigated for its potential to support collagen synthesis and improve skin elasticity, making it a candidate for anti-aging products. While promising, more extensive clinical studies are needed to fully elucidate its efficacy and optimal concentration in skincare formulations. As with any botanical extract, patch testing is recommended to ensure skin compatibility, particularly for individuals with sensitive skin or known plant allergies.
