WHITE NETTLE
INCI: Lamium album extract
What is Lamium album extract?
White nettle, or Lamium album, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Lamiaceae. It is native to Europe and Asia. The plant bears white-colored flowers. The young leaves of the plant are edible and are used in salad preparations. The flowers are used to obtain an extract which is used in cosmetic and personal care products as an astringent and masking agent. For more information, refer to Lamium album flower extract.
Use & Benefits:
- Bioactive Components: Tannins, mucous, essential oils, saponins, choline, biogenic amines (histamine, tyramine, and methylamine), and flavonoid glycosides are all found in white dead nettle.
- Therapeutic Uses: Lamium album is used for conditions like eczema, sore throat (pharyngitis), and abnormally heavy bleeding during menstrual periods.
- Traditional Cosmetic Uses: Traditionally, the herb has been used to treat oily hair, itching, and dandruff.
- Skin Conditioning: It acts as a skin conditioning agent that keeps the skin hydrated.
- Astringent Properties: Being an astringent, this extract is used in cosmetics to firm and tone the skin by restricting the pores and establishing a protective layer of hard tissue between the skin's underlayers and the elements.
