Symplocos Racemosa (Lodhra) bark extract is a plant-derived ingredient traditionally used in Ayurvedic skincare, valued for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening properties attributed to flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids. In cosmetic formulations it is used to soothe skin, even tone, and provide mild antioxidant effects.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contact irritation or mild redness | Rare | Possible due to tannin/astringent content, more likely in sensitive skin. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Botanical extracts can occasionally trigger sensitization in predisposed individuals. |
| Dryness or tightness | Uncommon | Astringent action may cause a temporary tight sensation. |
