Houttuynia Cordata Extract 10:1, commonly known as heartleaf extract, is a plant-based ingredient derived from the entire Houttuynia cordata herb. This yellowish-brown powder, produced through extraction, is widely used in Korean skincare and other personal care products to enhance skin comfort, hydration, and botanical nourishment.
Houttuynia cordata inherently possesses flavonoids, polyphenols, amino acids, and polysaccharides. Researchers have studied these substances for their antioxidant and skin-calming effects, making heartleaf extract a favored ingredient in products for delicate or easily irritated skin and for promoting a uniform skin tone. The extract ratio specific to the product, active-compound content, purity, and other quality parameters must be validated by the manufacturer's technical documentation and Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Houttuynia Cordata Extract may be included in facial care items, creams, lotions, serums, toners, and various topical formulations. Its concentrated botanical formulation offers a practical ingredient choice for manufacturers and formulators creating Korean-inspired skincare, sensitive skin care, hydration, and antioxidant products.
