Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Product Description

Our standardized Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract is derived from authenticated Baikal skullcap rhizome under GMP-aligned processing with batch COA traceability, supplying cosmetic formulators direct factory pricing and flexible kilogram-to-tonne bulk volumes.

Baicalin and baicalein—primary flavonoid markers quantified by HPLC—modulate NF-κB-linked inflammatory signaling and neutralize reactive oxygen species, supporting anti-redness, soothing, and photo-defense claims in sensitive-skin serums and emulsions.

Unlike berberine-forward Coptis extracts focused on clarifying acne care, this CosIng-listed Scutellaria root suits TCM-inspired calming and reactive-skin portfolios where formulators want traceable baicalin assays with high-purity direct factory supply.

Key Benefits & Applications

This root extract supports anti-inflammatory, soothing, and photo-defense claims through baicalin-rich Scutellaria baicalensis suited to sensitive-skin and anti-aging formulators.

• Anti-Inflammatory Modulation: Baicalin and baicalein help modulate NF-κB-linked cytokine signaling in irritation-prone skin care systems.
• Antioxidant Protection: Root flavonoids scavenge reactive oxygen species in daytime antioxidant serums and protective essences.
• Anti-Redness Support: Calms visible flushing and reactive tone in couperose-prone toners and sensitive-skin emulsions.
• Soothing & Calming: Supports daily comfort in reactive-skin cleansers and post-treatment recovery mists.
• Anti-Aging Defense: Helps limit MMP-mediated matrix degradation in mature-skin and photo-damage repair creams.
• Photo-Aging Protection: Flavonoid antioxidants defend against UV-induced oxidative stress in outdoor-exposed skin care lines.

Formulation Guidelines

Introduce standardized Scutellaria root extract in aqueous or hydroalcoholic phases; verify baicalin assay and preservation for water-rich sensitive-skin bases.

• Suggested use level: 0.5–3% w/w in serums, creams, and redness-relief toners (Typical).
• Processing: Pre-dissolve in glycerin, propylene glycol, or ethanol before adding to water phase at 30–40°C.
• pH window: Maintain 4.5–7.0; baicalin stability best in mildly acidic to neutral systems (Typical).
• Compatibility: Works with niacinamide, panthenol, and centella extracts; avoid strong oxidizers that degrade flavonoids.
• Preservation: Requires broad-spectrum preservation in water-rich leave-on facial formulas.
• Synergy: Layer Centella Asiatica Extract with baicalin-rich Scutellaria root in redness-relief serums at 1–3% for dual NF-κB calming.
