dandelion extract (Taraxacum officinale) has tonic properties, re freshes the skin, and corrects pH balance. It apparently also aids in increasing the respiratory capacity of skin tissue. Dandelion extract is said to be beneficial for dry skin and can also be found in acne preparations. The plant root, rather than the flower, is used in cosmetic preparations as the juice of the root is the more powerful part of the plant. The main constituents of dandelion root are taraxacin, a crystalline, bitter substance; and taraxacerin, an acrid resin. other constituents include inulin, gluten gum, potash, citric acid, sterols, and vitamins B and C. Dandelion is used in many patented medicines. |
