People are increasingly pursuing natural substances in consumption. Natural functional cosmetics conform to the trend of returning to nature and consumer psychology. "Green" will be the main development direction of cosmetics in the 21st century. Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is the root of the herb Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi in the Labiatae family. It is a commonly used drug for the treatment of skin diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Because it can "purge lung fire and relieve muscle heat", it is good for the treatment of facial and skin acne and rash, such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, black spots and dermatitis. Through its fire discharging, heat clearing and dampness drying effects, it can achieve the purpose of removing damp heat, clearing blood toxin and moisturizing the skin.

    Many manufacturers have crushed Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and added it to the soft film powder. However, after use, it is found that direct addition to cosmetics will cause skin coloring, so. To solve this problem, the best way is to extract and separate baicalin, the main effective component of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, and then add it to cosmetics according to a certain proportion. This solves the worrying problem that the skin often has acne and spots that have not disappeared but are yellow due to the direct use of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi.

    BaicalinIt has a specific effect on melanocytes. It only has a very high inhibitory activity on melanocytes, and has no toxic and side effects on other human cells such as basal cells, lymphocytes and macrophages. Therefore, baicalin is expected to become a new generation of safe and efficient whitening additives. Baicalin has good compatibility and can be used with a variety of whitening additives to enhance the efficacy.

    Baicalin has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. In vitro experiments show that baicalin has twice the inhibitory effect of metronidazole and 115 times that of erythromycin on Propionibacterium acnes at the same concentration. Because baicalin can promote the phagocytosis of macrophages, it can effectively remove dead cells, dead bacteria and other residues in cystic acne, accelerate the healing of acne, and is not easy to leave scars.

    For allergic skin, many beauty salons or hospitals use adrenocortical hormones such as dexamethasone for treatment. However, long-term use of these drugs will lead to telangiectasia, hairy skin, and even skin atrophy. Studies have shown that baicalin has no less anti allergic effect than dexamethasone, but it has no toxic and side effects of dexamethasone and can be used as a safe anti allergic agent. In addition, baicalin has a significant antioxidant effect, can inhibit the production of lipid peroxide, remove free radicals, and protect skin cells from the excessive oxidation of oxygen free radicals, so as to prolong the life of skin cells and enhance the anti-aging ability.

      Baicalin is an effective component of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Studies have proved that baicalin is a good natural raw material for the preparation of functional cosmetics, and has certain research and development value.
