This Goldenseal Root Extract is obtained from the root of the Hydrastis canadensis plant, a perennial herb in the buttercup family native to Canada and the United States. Known for its use in traditional Native American medicine, Goldenseal is now a popular ingredient in natural cosmetic products, particularly for soothing and cleansing the skin. A naturally astringent extract with a gentle touch, Goldenseal is suitable for use in cleansers, soothing lotions and sensitive skin products, as well as after-sun care and bath products. This extract contains berberine, which is highly popular in formulations for improving the appearance of acne. With a rich composition of vitamins and minerals, it is also an excellent addition to rejuvenating formulations, make-up, and hair care products to promote a radiant appearance.
