Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract
Formulate Labs offers Chinese Skullcap Root Extract, a standard or concentrated 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' standard or concentrated 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.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract is documented in cosmetic peptide/protein literature. These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.

Updates dynamically when you change base or preservation above. Full CAS disclosure is on the SDS/TDS for the selected variant (FL-SBR-W1-MBS4-5PCT-001).
SDS + TDS are issued per selected recipe. Links swap when you change selections above. A sample COA shows the standard extract QC panel (pH, organoleptic, TAMC/TYMC). Lot-specific COAs ship with every order.
We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected carrier. The botanical carries polar phenolics, flavonoid glycosides, and related extractable fractions. Those markers support antioxidant and skin-conditioning cosmetic stories. This is not a solvent isolate or a standardized marker extract. Lot identity appears on the COA and TDS.
This is a ready-to-use cosmetic extract stock, not a finished consumer product and not a standardized marker isolate. We cook the raw botanical powder into the selected hydroglycerin or oil carrier. Aqueous lots are released on pH, organoleptic, TAMC, and TYMC (total counts only). Oil macerates are released on organoleptic only. A sample COA is on this page; the lot-specific COA ships with the order.
