Belamcanda Chinensis Root Extract description

_Belamcanda chinensis_ root extract is a plant-derived ingredient that helps soothe skin. It’s taken from the roots of _Belamcanda chinensis_, also known as Iris domestica, Blackberry lily or leopard lily, a perennial flower with orange and yellow blossoms. The plant extract contains irisflorentin and has soothing properties that help calm skin and ease signs of irritation. Despite claims to the contrary, there’s no published scientific evidence that this plant can control skin’s oil production or boost cell turnover rate for smoother skin. _Belamcanda chinesis_ rhizomes are commonly used in traditional medicinal practices in Eastern Asian countries. Most of the research which notes this plant’s antioxidant benefits centers around extracts derived from the plant’s rhizome (underground portion of a plant’s stem), which contains flavonoids and isoflavonoids.
