Auriculate Swallowwort Root Extract
Auriculate swallowwort root (Cynanchum auriculatum, commonly known as Bai Shou Wu) is regarded as a nourishing botanical in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultural practices. It is rich in steroidal constituents, acetophenone derivatives, terpenoid, and alkaloids. These components are commonly associated with supporting physiological balance and general health maintenance.
Auriculate swallowwort root is often confused with Reynoutria multiflora (commonly known as He Shou Wu). However, within raw material markets in Korea and Japan, auriculate swallowwort root is seen as a comparatively milder and more suitable option for hair-related and scalp-care nutritional applications. It is therefore frequently used in formulations positioned for nourishment and maintenance from the root level.
