Galangin is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Galangin is a flavonol found in Alpinia officinarum (galangal) and other plant sources. In vitro studies demonstrate antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activity. It is not subject to EU cosmetic restrictions and is used in some natural and traditional cosmetic formulations. While well-tolerated, comprehensive clinical topical safety data are limited.

Skin benefits

  • Antioxidant activity protecting skin from oxidative stress
  • Antimicrobial properties useful in acne-prone skin formulations
  • Anti-inflammatory activity may soothe skin irritation

Known concerns

  • Limited human clinical data for topical safety
  • Potential for natural source variability in composition
