Barrier support ingredient
Bletilla Striata Root Extract
Bletilla striata (Bai Ji) is a terrestrial orchid native to East Asia whose dried tubers have been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to stop bleeding and promote tissue healing. The root extract is valued in premium K-beauty formulations for its high polysaccharide content — primarily glucomannans — delivering both film-forming humectancy and meaningful barrier repair, supported by pharmacological research confirming fibroblast activity stimulation.
