Baikal Skullcap Root: A Traditional Remedy with Modern Skin Benefits

Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, Baikal Skullcap Root Extract—also known as Scutellaria Baicalensis—is a time-honored herbal ingredient now making waves in modern skincare. Rich in flavonoids, especially baicalin, this powerful botanical is known for its ability to soothe, protect, and brighten.

At Balanse, we use this ingredient to help skin that’s feeling reactive, uneven, or in need of a reset—offering a gentle yet effective way to restore calm and radiance.
