Scutellaria baicalensis, commonly known as Chinese skullcap, is a flowering plant utilized in traditional medicine for its diverse health advantages. Although not often associated with hair care like some botanical extracts, Scutellaria baicalensis extract offers numerous potential benefits for hair health:

Treatment for Hair Loss: Recent studies suggest baicalin as a promising treatment for hair loss.Antioxidant Protection: The extract contains flavonoids, notably baicalin, which possess antioxidant properties that combat free radicals. These antioxidants safeguard hair follicles, preventing damage that can lead to hair loss or thinning.

Anti-inflammatory Effects: Baicalin, the primary active compound, has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe an irritated scalp, helping to maintain a healthy environment for optimal hair growth.

Scalp Health: The extract's phytochemicals nourish and revitalize the scalp, promoting overall scalp health and preventing common scalp issues like dandruff.

Hair Growth Promotion: While further research is needed, preliminary studies suggest the extract supports hair growth by enhancing scalp health and stimulating hair follicles.

Hair Conditioning: The extract's conditioning agents moisturize and hydrate hair strands, improving texture and manageability.

Environmental Protection: Antioxidants shield hair and scalp from UV radiation, pollution, and environmental stressors, maintaining healthy hair appearance.

Anti-Dandruff Properties: Research indicates potential antimicrobial properties that could combat dandruff-causing microbes, offering relief from dandruff symptoms.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract is safe on the hair and scalp when used at the recommended levels.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract is a natural, plant extract and is organic.
