Key findings
- 01 A 1.0% (w/v) nanoemulsion containing the dry extract demonstrated significant wound healing by increasing human keratinocyte migration and proliferation without cytotoxicity.
- 02 In vitro studies on human keratinocytes (HaCaT) showed the extract increased cell viability and renewal, suggesting potential as an anti-aging and regenerative agent at 3.5–63.5 μg/mL.

The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Exhibits good thermal and photo-stability as a spray-dried powder. In liquid formulations, nanoemulsions are recommended to stabilize poorly water-soluble flavonoids.
Conflicts
- Unsuitable for feminine hygiene due to low efficacy against specific pathogens.
- Potential instability in high alkaline environments (pH > 7.0) due to flavonoid degradation.
Safety
Safety Profile
Though not CIR reviewed, studies confirm it is hypoallergenic and non-cytotoxic to human keratinocytes. Animal studies show very low acute toxicity (LD50 > 5 g/kg).
