Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract · 5% aqueous hydroglycerin stock
Formulate Labs offers Chinese Skullcap Root Extract, a fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock solution leveraging the potent flavonoids baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin. Known as Baikal Skullcap or Huang Qin, this ingredient is your versatile active for advanced age support, brightening, and soothing formulations.
Baikal Skullcap / Huang Qin
Botanical Identity: Formulate Labs provides Chinese Skullcap Root Extract (INCI: Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract), a revered botanical ingredient. Trade Names: Also recognized as Baikal Skullcap and Huang Qin, it's crucial to note that Formulate Labs supplies ingredients based on their INCI name, ensuring consistency and regulatory clarity over various supplier-specific SKUs.
Dual mechanism: Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract functions through a multi-pathway mechanism driven by its key flavonoid constituents. Baicalin supports skin firmness and elasticity by activating the telomerase gene, helping delay cellular senescence. Baicalein provides potent antioxidant support by chelating iron and neutralizing reactive oxygen species. Collectively, these flavonoids contribute to a brighter, more even-looking complexion by suppressing tyrosinase synthesis and offer significant soothing benefits for reactive skin by downregulating histamine pathways.
Use levels: For Formulate Labs' fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock, typical use rates in liquid bases (water, propanediol, glycerin) range from 1.0% to 5.0% to achieve desired cosmetic effects. When using standardized active powders, a lower concentration of 0.1% to 0.5% is typically applied.
Market context: Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract is competitively positioned through three primary narratives. It's marketed for Cellular Rejuvenation, appealing to premium age-support brands with its ability to delay cellular senescence. Drawing on its heritage, it's also presented for Traditional Soothing, ideal for sensitive skin and anti-pollution concepts. Finally, its Synergistic Brightening qualities highlight its compatibility with other actives like Vitamin C and Niacinamide, boosting overall formula performance.
Pricing context: B2B pricing for cosmetic-grade liquid extracts exhibits high variability. Raw botanical powders may range from $10 to $50 per kg, while highly purified, Western-sourced specialty liquid fractions can exceed $335 per kg. Formulate Labs offers a tiered pricing structure for high-quality liquid extracts, with a 500 g sample at $195.00, 1 kg at $300.00, and a 17 kg pail at $4,488.00 (equivalent to $264.00/kg).
