Larix Sibirica Wood Extract

Larix Sibirica Wood Extract is derived from the larch tree native to Siberia. It contains naturally occurring compounds including polyphenols and other bioactive molecules that have been traditionally used in skincare formulations.In cosmetic products, this extract functions primarily as an antimicrobial and antioxidant agent, helping to protect the skin and scalp from environmental stressors whilst supporting the skin's natural defences.

The extract's antimicrobial action comes from its natural polyphenol content, which can inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and fungi on the skin surface. This mechanism makes it particularly useful in products designed for scalp health and cleansing.As an antioxidant, the extract's active compounds neutralise free radicals, helping to reduce oxidative stress that can contribute to skin ageing and inflammation.

This ingredient is most commonly found in scalp treatments, cleansers, and anti-dandruff products. It is typically used as part of a complete formulation rather than in isolation. Follow the product instructions for frequency and application, as usage will depend on the specific product type and concentration.

Generally well-tolerated in cosmetic formulations. As with any botanical extract, patch testing is recommended for those with known sensitivities to plant-derived ingredients.
