Khaya Senegalensis Bark Extract
Khaya Senegalensis Bark Extract
Khaya senegalensis bark extract is a botanical extract from African mahogany bark. In cosmetics it is used primarily as a skin-protecting, antioxidant-supporting, and conditioning ingredient. Available ingredient references describe it as a bark extract used in facial care products, with research literature suggesting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactivity for bark extracts of the plant. Because it is a complex plant extract rather than a single defined molecule, physicochemical values such as molecular weight and pH are not meaningful as single constants.

Risks & Warnings
May cause irritation or sensitization in very reactive skin, as with many botanical extracts. Safety data specific to cosmetic use are limited, so caution is warranted in leave-on products for very sensitive skin. Avoid use if a product containing the extract causes stinging, redness, or dermatitis.
