About
Baikal skullcap root powder, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb used in skincare for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-calming benefits.
Scutellaria baicalensis root is among the most extensively studied cosmetic botanicals. Key flavonoids baicalein, wogonin, and baicalin have been reviewed by the SCCS with a favourable safety conclusion at typical cosmetic concentrations. The root powder is not restricted in EU cosmetic annexes. Baical skullcap is widely used in natural and organic cosmetics worldwide and serves as a benchmark for anti-inflammatory botanical efficacy.
