While traditional herbal poultices may still be used in some parts of the world, modern skincare has taken centuries of herbal wisdom and transformed it into easy-to-use, effective products. Chinese herbs, long celebrated for their internal healing properties, have become key players in skincare for their remarkable benefits.
But before you dive into using skincare products with Chinese herbs, here are 5 essential things you need to know.
1. Chinese Herbs in Skincare – Not One, Not Two, But Many…
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), herbs rarely work in isolation. The philosophy of TCM emphasizes synergy, where multiple herbs are combined to enhance their effectiveness. This is why our products don’t rely on just one star ingredient, but rather a blend of herbs that work together to tackle multiple skin concerns.
For example, in our Power of Brightening & Renewal Serum, we’ve blended brightening agents like niacinamide with Chinese herbs such as Cordyceps Militaris, Centella Asiatica, Angelica Keiskei, Dendrobium Nobile, and Magnolia Liliflora. Together, these herbs create a powerful synergy, working to brighten, hydrate, and even out skin tone while soothing irritation.
This approach is rooted in TCM, where the focus is on bringing balance and harmony to the body and skin.

2. Understand the Chinese Herbs for Specific Skin Concerns in Your Products
Chinese herbs have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years, with each herb offering its own unique benefits. This long history has helped uncover which herbs are best for treating various skin concerns.
For instance, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract (Baikal Skullcap) has been used for centuries to calm irritated skin, thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Bark Extract (Tree Peony Root Bark) is prized for evening out skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation. Rehmannia Chinensis Root Extract, on the other hand, deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin, promoting regeneration and offering anti-aging benefits.

3. The Science behind Herbal Extracts – More than Just Mixing Up Herbs
Creating an effective herbal-based skincare product isn’t as simple as tossing a few herbs into a jar. There’s a fine balance between art and science when it comes to formulating skincare products with herbs.
Each herb contains active compounds, but to make sure these compounds work effectively, factors like pH balance, solubility, and oxidation must be carefully managed. For example, many water-soluble extracts like Centella Asiatica require specific pH ranges to remain effective. If this balance is off, the active compounds may degrade, resulting in a product that’s ineffective or even harmful.
We work carefully to ensure that every herb in our formulations is used at its optimal effectiveness, maintaining both potency and safety.
4. Strict Limits to Herbal Extracts – Trust Only The Experts!
As the Chinese saying goes—”every medicine has a bit of poison.” Even the best herbs must be used in the right amounts. Think of it like fine wine: a little elevates, but too much can ruin the experience. Balance and precision is the key when working with potent herbal ingredients.
Herbal extracts are powerful, but, with great power comes great responsibility. Just like with any skincare ingredient, too much of a good thing can lead to irritation or worse, so it’s important to get the balance right.
Herbs like Scutellaria baicalensis or Angelica Keiskei are potent powerhouses in skincare, known for their impressive anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, when not properly dosed, these same potent properties can overwhelm your skin.
At LUWIN, we know how to get the balance just right. We don’t just throw ingredients together. Every formula is crafted with the right dosage; we follow strict guidelines to ensure our products are safe, effective, and compliant with cosmetic regulations—so you can enjoy the benefits without any of the worry.

5. The High Costs of Herbal Extracts
High-quality herbal extracts are not easy to come by, and the reason for their high cost often goes beyond what meets the eye.
The process of harvesting and extracting these potent ingredients is labour-intensive, requiring specialized techniques to preserve the efficacy of the plant’s active compounds.
For instance, Scutellaria Baicalensis must be harvested at a particular time of year to ensure its highest potency. Some plants require highly controlled environments to grow and thrive, while others, like Rehmannia, need to be dried and processed in precise ways to retain their active benefits. The result? These processes can raise the cost of the raw materials significantly.
But here’s the good news: even in small amounts, these extracts deliver powerful results.
We make sure every drop counts, selecting only the most effective extracts to deliver maximum benefits without overwhelming your skin.
