What Is Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Extract?
Rehmannia glutinosa root extract comes from a plant native to China. It is considered one of the key herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine, especially for internal ailments.\n\nA growing body of research is demonstrating that Rehmannia glutinosa root extract is an ingredient to watch when it comes to topical skin treatment as well.
While its antioxidant properties protect skin from environmental aggressors, one of its hallmark traits appears to be its ability to fight factors that can trigger visible signs of irritation.\n\nOne study even found that Rehmannia glutinosa root extract can help mitigate visible signs of ageing due to estrogen loss – making it an intriguing ingredient to consider for anti-ageing formulas meant for menopausal skin.\n\nUsage levels of Rehmannia glutinosa root extract have not been firmly established for cosmetics.
