Pure Kigelia Africana Extract Plant Extract for Radiant Skin and Hair Health
Kigelia africana, also known as the Sausage Tree, is native to tropical Africa. Its fruit is named after its sausage-like shape. The extracts are mainly derived from fruits, bark and leaves. The core active ingredients include:
• Naphthoquinones: such as Lapachol, which have antibacterial and anti-tumor activities.
• Iridoids: such as Verbascoside, a potent antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals and inhibit inflammation.
• Flavonoids: Inhibit tyrosinase activity, reduce melanin production, and are often used in whitening skin care products.
• Phenolic compounds: including proanthocyanidins, which enhance skin barrier function and reduce UV damage.
