About

A Himalayan-Tibetan root extract long used as a purple dye and wound balm. The catch: it can carry pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which are hepatotoxic and genotoxic, so PA-purified grades are essential.

Skin benefits

  • Naphthoquinone shikonin-derived antimicrobial action
  • Wound-soothing tradition
  • Natural red-purple pigment
  • Anti-inflammatory in topical use

Known concerns

  • Contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids — hepatotoxic and genotoxic
  • EU CMR concerns drive supplier purification
  • Shikonin can stain
  • Avoid on broken skin
