Arctium Lappa beskrivning

_Arctium lappa_, AKA burdock, is a plant species that produces many cosmetic ingredients used for their antioxidant and soothing properties. _Arctium lappa_ is a biennial plant native to parts of Europe and Asia but is now also found as an invasive species in regions throughout the world, including Australia and North America. Its flowers, roots, leaves and seeds are used to create cosmetic ingredients. The plant contains many skin-beneficial compounds, including flavonoids (antioxidants like chlorogenic and caffeic acids), fatty acids, polysaccharides and oligosaccharides. The flavonoids present in this plant help defend skin from external threats, including pollution and environmental agents, whereas the fatty acids, polysaccharides and oligosaccharides help soothe and hydrate thanks to their water-binding properties. The concentrations of _Arctium lappa_ used in cosmetics varies based on the type of ingredient included in the formula. Amounts of 0.1–1% are standard and this plant is often included in a blend with water and one or more glycols since these help solubilize burdock. Outside of skin care, _Arctium lappa_ is also used in hair care formulas, particularly those targeting scalp care.
