About

A well-researched Ayurvedic cognitive herb now popular in skincare for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties when applied topically.

Bacopa monnieri (brahmi) contains bacosides A and B, dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins that have been extensively studied for their neuroprotective and antioxidant effects. EU cosmetics regulation places no specific restrictions on this ingredient. It is not listed in any Annex, and its safety is well-established from both traditional Ayurvedic use and modern studies. Particularly beneficial for sensitive or ageing skin.
