Sophora japonica flower extract (inci)

Sophora japonica flower extract is the name given to the extract from the bright yellow, small flowers of Sophora japonica, the Japanese pagoda tree, also known as the Japanese pagoda tree, a tree that grows up to 30 m high and is native to China, Japan and Korea.
Sophora japonica flower extract is used in cosmetic formulations, but is also used in medicine (see below ulcerative colitis).

The flower extract acts as a skin protection agent (protects the skin against external influences).

Bark and seeds, but especially the fruit skin are poisonous.
