Burdock root extract – regulating & strengthening for impure skin & hair loss
Arctium Lappa Root Extract has anti-inflammatory, sebum-regulating and strengthens the hair roots – ideal for oily scalp, acne and hair loss.
Introduction / Brief description
Burdock root extract (INCI: Arctium Lappa Root Extract ) comes from the root of the biennial greater burdock, which is native to Europe and Asia. The root is rich in tannins, mucilage, and natural polyphenols. The extract has anti-inflammatory, sebum-regulating, and antibacterial properties—ideal for impure skin, oily scalp, and for preventing hair loss.
Origin & Production
The burdock root extract used in myrto is wild-harvested and obtained through gentle extraction from the fresh root of the Arctium lappa plant. The biennial burdock belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae) and grows up to two meters tall.
Effect on skin & hair
Clarifying & soothing for irritated skin
Burdock root extract, thanks to its natural tannins, has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and astringent properties. It is traditionally used for impure skin, acne, dermatoses, and minor skin infections. The tannins soothe irritated skin and support its regeneration.
Sebum-regulating & strengthening for hair loss
In hair care, burdock root extract reduces sebum, stimulates circulation, and strengthens hair follicles. The oleanolic acid it contains stimulates cell proliferation in the hair matrix. Arctiin , a plant-based lignan, supports collagen production in the scalp and protects the hair roots from oxidative stress—ideal for hormonally induced hair loss.
