MELALEUCA SYMPHYOCARPA FLOWER/LEAF EXTRACT

Description

Melaleuca symphyocarpa flower/leaf extract is derived from the Australian native plant commonly known as the liniment tree. This botanical extract has gained attention in skincare and haircare formulations for its potential benefits. Rich in bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and terpenes, it offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help protect skin and hair from environmental stressors.

The extract is known for its antimicrobial activity, which can be beneficial in addressing various skin and scalp conditions. It may help in balancing the skin's microbiome and controlling excess sebum production, making it potentially useful for acne-prone or oily skin types. In haircare, it could contribute to a healthier scalp environment, potentially reducing dandruff and promoting hair growth.

Melaleuca symphyocarpa extract also contains natural conditioning agents that can improve the texture and appearance of both skin and hair. It may enhance moisture retention, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and the hair more manageable. While research is ongoing, preliminary studies suggest that this extract could have soothing properties, potentially reducing redness and irritation in sensitive skin.
