Antimicrobial Active for Skin
Chaulmoogra Oil is unique in that it contains high amounts of special cyclic fatty acids that have antimicrobial activity. Together with 5’-methoxyhydnocarpin, a compound that helps to prevent multidrug resistance in some bacteria, makes the oil ideal for treating skin conditions.
Studies have shown that Chaulmoogra Oil helps to harmonize skin pigmentation by mobilizing the pigment producing cells (melanocytes) from areas with high pigment to areas with low pigment. It also stimulates the melanocytes to produce melanin and transfer it to the surface of the skin. This causes the tanning to occur faster, it blurs spots, the complexion is uniform and the skin regains its radiance.
