About

Matrine Gallate is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Matrine gallate combines the skin-calming properties of matrine (from Sophora flavescens) with the antioxidant activity of gallic acid (a polyphenolic compound widely distributed in plants). Gallic acid and its esters are well-documented antioxidants. No EU Annex restrictions apply to this ingredient at cosmetic use levels. The conjugate may offer enhanced bioavailability compared to individual components.
