SALVADORA PERSICA STEM EXTRACT

SALVADORA PERSICA STEM EXTRACT: what it is
Salvadora Persica Stem Extract is an extract obtained from the stems of Salvadora persica, a plant species in the Salvadoraceae family. On an ingredient list, the name identifies a preparation made from the plant's woody stems or branches, rather than one isolated substance with a fixed composition.
GBIF recognizes Salvadora persica as the accepted species name in this genus. The plant part matters: findings about its leaves, roots, seeds, or oils do not automatically describe a stem extract, because the raw material and extraction method can change the group of substances present.
SALVADORA PERSICA STEM EXTRACT: what it does in cosmetics
In cosmetics, Salvadora Persica Stem Extract is used as an astringent. In everyday terms, this type of ingredient is selected when a product is intended to leave the skin feeling temporarily firmer and less slippery after application; the sensation depends on the full formula and is not a treatment for pores, acne, or oily skin.
Research has examined a methanolic extract of Salvadora persica stem bark in laboratory assays and in mice, but it did not evaluate this ingredient in a topical cosmetic. Those findings do not support antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, or neurological claims for a product that contains the extract.
