About

Oroxylum root powder, a traditional Ayurvedic herb used in skincare for its antioxidant and skin-protective properties.

Oroxylum indicum is used in Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Key constituents include oroxylin A, baicalein, and iridoid glycosides. The plant is not listed in EU cosmetic restriction annexes. However, some Oroxylum species contain flavones with moderate sensitising potential, and the root's use in cosmetics is not extensively documented in Western literature. The safety profile is derived primarily from its traditional medicinal use and limited modern toxicology.

Skin benefits

  • Oroxylin A has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties
  • Traditional use for skin conditions including eczema and wounds

Known concerns

  • Limited modern toxicological data for cosmetic use
  • Possible sensitisation from flavonoid constituents in susceptible individuals
