Symplocos racemosa (Lodhra) infusion is a plant-derived extract used in skincare for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, traditionally applied to soothe and tone the skin. It contains tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids that may help reduce redness and tighten the appearance of pores.
