All herbal extracts contained in Hexaplant Richter are described as having anti-inflammatory effects. Fennel extract produces an anti-inflammatory effect and is free from irritants, so it is used for external treatment of inflammations around the eye . In vitro, an anti-mutagenic activity was observed . Hop extract has a soothing effect, and the bitter component, humulon, has proved to inhibit inflammation . The antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory) effect of camomile extract is due to different terpenoids and flavonoids that penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin . In addition to inflammation-inhibiting effects, camomile extract promotes granulation by stimulating oxidative phosphorylation in the skin . Balm-mint is known for its soothing and spasmolytic effects and has also been reported to produce an anti-viral effect on Herpes simplex . Caffeic acid, contained in balm-mint extract, and mistletoe extracts proved to have antitumoral effects . Mistletoe extract unspecifically stimulates the immune system by stimulating cytokine production . Yarrow extract was found to produce anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects, among them against Staphylococcus aureus.

Safety & Health
- Physiological Safety
Mutagenicity
According to a reverse mutation assay using bacteria Hexaplant Richter showed neither on 4 strains of Salmonella typhimurium nor on E. coli WP2 uvrA any mutagenic action.
The toxicological results listed below were obtained with a quality of Hexaplant Richter
containing 30% v/v ethanol and 0.3% Phenonip. Reduction of the ethanol content to approx.23% v/v and omission of the preservative are not expected to have any negative effect on the test results.Acute oral toxicity
LD50 oral: > 20 ml per kg bodyweight (rat).
Hexaplant Richter is hence to be designated as non-toxic.Eye irritation potential
Hexaplant Richter has undergone the Draize test. There is no objection to the application of Hexaplant Richter in the vicinity of the eyes.
Skin tolerance
Experience has shown that in the dosages we recommend for the manufacture of cosmetic preparations Hexaplant Richter is non-irritant to intact skin.
