Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract

Product Description

Our Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract is high-purity botanical material from direct factory supply, extracted from authenticated Scutellaria baicalensis root with batch COA traceability for antioxidant and soothing formulators.

Standardized baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin flavonoids activate Nrf2-linked antioxidant defenses, modulate NF-κB inflammation, and reinforce tight junction proteins in aqueous systems without synthetic flavonoid substitutes.

CosIng-listed Chinese skullcap meets Huang Qin-inspired calm-actives demand in cica and urban-defense care, offering multi-flavonoid depth beyond isolated baicalin powders or unrelated Lamiaceae leaf extracts.

Key Benefits & Applications

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract delivers baicalin-baicalein flavonoids for formulators building antioxidant, soothing, and barrier-repair skincare systems.

• Baicalin and baicalein scavenge ROS and activate Nrf2-linked antioxidant defenses in daily day serums.
• Flavonoid profile modulates NF-κB inflammatory mediators in sensitive-skin recovery and post-treatment formulas.
• Baicalein supports tight junction proteins and skin barrier integrity in repair moisturizers at 0.5–2%.
• Wogonin and baicalin modulate tyrosinase activity for tone-evening essences and brightening gels.
• Calms redness-prone reactive skin in soothing mists, cica creams, and urban-exposed daily care.

Formulation Guidelines

Use at 0.5–2% w/w in water-based soothing and antioxidant systems; maintain pH 4.5–6.5 and add below 40°C to preserve baicalin markers.

• Recommended use level: 0.5–2% in serums, toners, cica creams, and calming essences.
• Optimal formula pH: 4.5–6.5 to stabilize baicalin and baicalein flavonoids.
• Add during cool-down below 40°C after emulsification to limit heat degradation.
• Compatible with panthenol and centella in aqueous anti-redness bases.
• Pre-dissolve in glycols for improved aqueous dispersion in toner systems.
• Synergy: Formulators often co-add Coptis Chinensis Root Extract with skullcap for dual-TCM anti-inflammatory support in calming gels.
