SYRINGA OBLATA BARK/LEAF POWDER

Description

Syringa oblata bark/leaf powder is derived from the Syringa oblata plant, a species of lilac native to northern China. This botanical ingredient has gained attention in skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in phenolic compounds, particularly oleuropein and verbascoside, Syringa oblata bark/leaf powder may offer protective benefits against environmental stressors and oxidative damage.

The powder is obtained through a careful extraction and drying process, preserving the active constituents of both the bark and leaves. Its fine texture allows for easy incorporation into various skincare products, including serums, masks, and creams. Studies suggest that Syringa oblata extracts may help inhibit tyrosinase activity, potentially contributing to a more even skin tone and addressing hyperpigmentation concerns.

Additionally, this ingredient has demonstrated antimicrobial properties, which could be beneficial in managing acne-prone skin. Its natural origin makes it an attractive option for formulators seeking plant-based alternatives in skincare. While promising, further research is needed to fully elucidate the efficacy and optimal concentration of Syringa oblata bark/leaf powder in topical applications.
