Symplocos racemosa (Lodhra) is a plant-derived extract traditionally used in Ayurvedic and cosmetic preparations for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and skin-soothing properties, often attributed to tannins and flavonoid constituents. It is used in formulations targeting acne, inflammation, and overall skin tone.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Contact irritation or mild redness | Rare | Possible in sensitive individuals, partly due to tannin content. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Botanical extracts can occasionally trigger hypersensitivity reactions. |
Dryness or tightness | Uncommon | Astringent action may cause transient skin tightness in some users. |
