What It Does

Eclipta Prostrata Extract, derived from the false daisy plant (Bhringraj in Ayurvedic tradition), is a botanical extract particularly valued in hair care formulations for its traditional use in promoting hair growth and preventing premature graying. The oil-soluble variant contains lipophilic compounds including wedelolactone, demethylwedelolactone, and eclalbasaponins, which contribute to its conditioning properties and ability to strengthen hair follicles. Formulators choose this extract for its dual benefits of providing antioxidant protection while delivering traditional Ayurvedic hair care benefits, making it especially popular in natural and ethnic hair care products.
