Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) is an Ayurvedic plant extract used in skincare for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and skin-soothing properties, often applied to support wound healing, reduce redness, and tone the skin. Its bioactive constituents include alkaloids and flavonoids thought to contribute to these effects.
