About

Cnidium root water used in traditional Chinese medicine to support skin health.

Cnidium officinale root contains senkyunolide N, ligustilide, and coumarins with anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory activity. It is not specifically restricted under EU cosmetic regulations. Ligustilide, the major constituent, has been studied for skin applications; the steam-distillate form reduces the concentration of potentially irritating compounds compared to the crude extract.
