Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract

« Back to Glossary Index

Astragalus Membranaceus, known as Huangqi in Chinese medicine, holds significant importance as a medicinal herb used to enhance the body’s life force or “qi”. It possesses numerous beneficial properties including toning, liver protection, immune modulation, antihyperglycemic effects, anti-inflammatory actions, antioxidant activity, and antiviral capabilities.

Modern scientific research has validated the medicinal value of Huangqi and identified various bioactive compounds such as saponins, flavonoids, and polysaccharides within it. Regarding skincare benefits associated with Huangqi usage, it is widely recognized for its overall tonic effect on the skin. Additionally,it reinforces the skin’s integrity while also exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Moreover, a manufacturer has claimed that Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract combines both anti-aging and anti-blemish properties,making it particularly beneficial for aging or acne-prone skin.Their in-vivo studies conducted on real people have shown that a 2% concentration of liposomal Huangqi can increase skin hydration,firmness,and smoothness by 20% after just 14 days.Moreover,it has demonstrated a reduction in “blemish-prone signs” by 10-15% after an extended period of 42 days.

By improving qi flow and circulation, Astragalus directly enhances the condition of skin cells, resulting in an improvement to overall complexion quality. This indicates that Astragalus Membranaceus can be considered a valuable ingredient for skincare products aimed at addressing aging concerns or blemishes.The combination of its diverse therapeutic properties along with its proven efficacy make this herb highly desirable within medical contexts as well as cosmetic formulations.
