Botanical Brief No. 57
Burdock Root originates from Europe and Northern Asia.
It contains inulin, tannins, and polyphenols with supportive skin benefits.
Helps balance oil production on combination and problem prone skin.
Offers mild clarifying effects without stripping the barrier.
Supports calmer looking skin during congestion.
Provides antioxidant reinforcement.
Water extracts integrate well into masks, cleansers, and toners.
Traditionally used for internal detox support, but topical use focuses on clarity and balance.
Helps refine the look of visible pores.
Individuals allergic to the Asteraceae family should patch test.
Burdock root reminds us that clear skin begins with clear pathways. Gentle liver and lymph support shows up where it matters most, the skin.
