Actique™ Shikon

1 of 15 products in this brand
Actique™ Shikon is a natural anti-inflammatory derived from the Chinese medicinal herb, Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst. Traditionally, this herb is used in pharmaceuticals for detoxification, blood circulation, and wound healing. The effective chemical portion is mainly divided into two parts, an oil-soluble naphthoquinone pigment with strong anti-inflammatory ingredients, such as Shikon and acetylshikonin, and a water-soluble portion containing polysaccharides and phenolic acids. Actique™ Shikon is the isolated oil-soluble naphthoquinone portion of Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst used for its natural and beautiful purplish-red wine color with the ability to decrease inflammation, deliver acne and oil control and soothe the skin.
