Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract

Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract is from an herb called Huang Qi. The roots of this plant have traditionally used in traditional Chinese medicine.

This ingredient contains hydrating, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory compounds such as polysaccharides, saponins, and flavonoids. These compounds have also been studied for its effects on skin repair like fibroblast activity, growth-factor signaling, and wound closure models. However, human evidence is still limited.

Recent clinical work on a proprietary Astragalus + Centella saponin system showed improvement in skin aging and quality.

Overall, this ingredient is a great supportive ingredient with low irritation risk.
