Darutoside
Other names: Siegesbeckia orientalis extract
Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)
Darutoside is the active ingredient contained in the extract of the Siegesbeckia orientalis plant. This plant is native to Asia, mainly India and China. Its Latin name was coined in honour of the Russian naturalist Johann Siegesbeck. Darutoside is known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Because of this, it is becoming an increasingly popular ingredient in the cosmetic industry.
Darutoside is most commonly found in skin care products. These are mainly creams, serums and masks. Due to its anti-inflammatory effect, darutoside is used in products for acne and other skin problems. Another important effect is the ability to stimulate collagen production, which smooths and firms wrinkles. This property is especially appreciated by women in the fight against aging. Darutoside is therefore also used in anti-aging cosmetics. This ingredient is also used in products for reducing stretch marks and scars, which it can help alleviate thanks to its regenerative abilities. Although darutoside is predominantly a botanical ingredient, it is a good idea to check that the cosmetic product containing it is completely safe and suitable for the user's skin type.
