Albizia julibrissin bark extract is a plant-derived antioxidant taken from the stem bark of the Persian silk tree (Albizia julibrissin). Native to Asia, this species has a history of usage in Chinese herbal medicinal practices.
The chemical profile of Albizia julibrissin bark mostly displays lignans, saponins, phenolic glycosides, triterpenoids and flavonoids. Many of the compounds in this profile offer antioxidant properties. Through these, this plant extract can offer anti-aging benefits to skin, keeping skin looking youthful through the mitigation of pro-aging damage that daily exposure to environmental aggressors cause.
It’s recommended for use in cosmetics in percentages between 0.5 and 5%. As with most other antioxidant ingredients, it’s best to store any product that contains this ingredient in opaque and airtight containers.
