This work tested the efficacy and tolerability of a barrier cream based on Mimosa Bark Extract as active ingredient for irritant contact dermatitis (ICD). This Mimosa Bark Extract contains several components that participate in all phases of wound healing, accelerate the healing process and reduce the risk of scarring.
· Evaluation methods
The study included visual scoring of the skin condition (analyzing xerosis, erythema, scaling and cracking) during the first visit and 7 days later (second visit). The patients were also asked to rate the stinging and burning sensations, pain and itching at the same time intervals. After 7 days of treatment, a satisfaction questionnaire was also filled in.
· Results
A significant reduction was observed in all target parameters (p < 0.0002) and the efficacy and tolerability were excellent. The tested barrier cream is a valuable dermocosmetic treatment option for ICD. The positive effects of Mimosa bark extract are mainly explained by the action of its variable components (tannins, monopeptides, flavonoids, flavonoids, saponins and many oligoelements with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial effects).

This study assessed the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity in extracts from the barks of three coniferous species (Scots pine, spruce, and cedar) and eight deciduous species (poplar, chestnut, oak, black locust, beech, eucalyptus, ironwood, and mimosa ((Acacia Dealbata L.)).
· Experimental Methods
The barks were extracted using an alcohol-benzene mixture (1:2 v/v) following the TAPPI T 204 cm-07 standard. Antioxidant activities (AA) of the extracts were evaluated through the ability to scavenge the DPPH radical, and the total phenolic content (TPM in mg-GAE/g-DB) was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method.
· Findings on Mimosa Bark Extract
The results indicated that the antioxidant activity was greater in the extracts from deciduous tree barks than in those from coniferous species. Among deciduous species, mimosa exhibited the highest AA activity (91.30), while for conifers, the highest was observed in spruce (81.52).
Deciduous species also demonstrated higher phenolic content, with mimosa extracts showing the greatest total phenolic content (TPC). Given that phenolic compounds provide protection against UV light, wood species with elevated TPC and AA could be valuable for producing wood preservatives and UV protective agents.
What is Mimosa Bark Extract, and where does it come from?
Mimosa Bark Extract is derived from the Acacia dealbata shrub, which is native to parts of Oceania. This extract is often sourced from the shrub's yellow flowers, seeds, stems, and leaves.
What are the benefits of using Mimosa Bark Extract in skincare?
Mimosa Bark Extract contains phenolic compounds that provide antioxidant properties. These antioxidants help protect the skin from environmental damage, such as the harmful effects of UV rays.
Can Mimosa Bark Extract cause skin irritation?
Yes, Mimosa Bark Extract, particularly in the form of essential oil, contains volatile aromatic compounds. These compounds can sensitize the skin, potentially causing irritation, itching, redness, or even discoloration, depending on skin tone.
Is Mimosa Bark Extract safe to use on all skin types?
While it has antioxidant benefits, Mimosa Bark Extract can still cause skin sensitization. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel has not verified its safety due to insufficient research, indicating that individuals should proceed with caution and potentially conduct a patch test before widespread use.
What does Mimosa Bark Extract smell like, and how is it used in products?
Mimosa Bark Extract has a sweet, floral, and spicy scent, making it a popular ingredient in fragrance products. However, this aromatic quality contributes to its potential for skin sensitization.
Are there any ongoing studies on the safety of Mimosa Bark Extract?
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel has indicated a need for more research and studies to fully understand the safety profile of Acacia dealbata-derived ingredients, including Mimosa Bark Extract.
