Chinese skullcap root extract — rich in baicalin and baicalein flavonoids with antioxidant activity in cosmetic formulas.

What it does

Scutellaria baicalensis (Chinese skullcap) root extract is dominated by flavonoids — baicalin, baicalein, wogonin — that act as antioxidants in the formula and on the skin surface. It appears in calming and soothing formulas, often alongside other plant antioxidants. As a botanical extract its in-bottle level is modest, so it functions as a supporting antioxidant rather than the primary active in a formula.
