Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract

Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract

Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract is derived from the aerial parts of Spilanthes acmella, a plant renowned for its potent alkylamides, particularly spilanthol, which induces a tingling or “buzzing” sensation on mucous membranes. The extract is standardized to ≥2% spilanthol via supercritical CO₂ or ethanol extraction, ensuring optimal bioactivity. Historically used in Ayurveda and Amazonian medicine for toothaches and infections, it also contains flavonoids (kaempferol) and triterpenoids that contribute to its therapeutic effects.
