Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) Root - Topical Liquid Extract Tincture

This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) prepared from the dried root of Skunk Cabbage - Symplocarpus foetidus, an eastern North American wetland plant of the arum family (Araceae), also called Eastern Skunk Cabbage and Polecat Weed. This product is for external (topical) use only.

  • Botanical name: Symplocarpus foetidus (L.) Salisb. ex W.P.C.Barton (Araceae)
  • Plant part: Dried root
  • Also known as: Skunk Cabbage, Eastern Skunk Cabbage, Polecat Weed, Swamp Cabbage
  • Extract type: Alcohol tincture - for external use only
  • Other ingredients: Organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
  • Origin: Responsibly sourced. Gluten free. Made in the USA.

This is Eastern Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), different from Western Skunk Cabbage (Lysichiton americanus), which we do not carry. Like other arum-family plants, it naturally contains calcium oxalate; please read the important safety information below before use.

Important safety information - please read carefully before use

Skunk cabbage naturally contains calcium oxalate crystals. Please read these cautions before use.

  • External use only - never internal: this product is for topical use and must not be swallowed. Skunk cabbage contains needle-like calcium oxalate crystals (raphides); if taken internally they can cause intense burning and swelling of the mouth, throat, and airway, which is why we offer it strictly for external use.
  • Skin: apply to intact skin only - do not use on or around the mucous membranes, eyes, or on broken or abraded skin. Do a patch test first, and stop if redness, itching, or rash develops. Because this is an alcohol tincture, it may sting on sensitive skin.
  • Pregnancy / nursing: if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking any medications, consult your doctor before use.
  • Contains alcohol. Do not use on infants or children. If you have a medical condition, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions about Skunk Cabbage Extract
What is Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) topical extract?
Skunk Cabbage is the common name for Symplocarpus foetidus, an eastern North American wetland plant of the arum family (Araceae), also called Eastern Skunk Cabbage and Polecat Weed for its strong odor. This is a liquid extract of the dried root FOR EXTERNAL (TOPICAL) USE ONLY - it is not for internal use. This tincture is an alcohol extract, applied to intact skin. Like other arum-family plants, skunk cabbage naturally contains calcium oxalate crystals, which are strongly irritating to the mouth, throat, and digestive tract if taken internally, which is why we offer it strictly for external use. Please read the important safety notes below.
What is the difference between the tincture and alcohol-free versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Symplocarpus foetidus root for external use; only the solvent differs. This tincture uses organic alcohol with vegetable glycerin and water, the classic conventional method with a long shelf life. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water instead. Choose whichever suits your topical routine. The root inside is identical, and the same external-use safety notes apply to both - neither is for internal use.
Is this the same as Western Skunk Cabbage?
No. This is Eastern Skunk Cabbage, Symplocarpus foetidus, native to eastern North America. Western Skunk Cabbage is a different plant, Lysichiton americanus, which we do not carry. Both are in the arum family and both contain calcium oxalate, but they are different genera. It is also unrelated to edible cabbage. We label this page clearly as Symplocarpus foetidus root.
How do I use Skunk Cabbage topical liquid extract?
For external use only. Shake well first, and do a patch test on a small area before wider use. Apply to intact skin only - do not use on or around the mucous membranes, eyes, or on broken or abraded skin. Do not take it internally. Because this is an alcohol tincture, it may sting on sensitive skin. Discontinue use if any irritation or reaction occurs. Store in a cool, dry place, and keep out of reach of children.
Is Skunk Cabbage topical safe for everyone? Important safety information.
Please read this carefully. External use only: this product is not for internal use.

ETHICALLY SOURCED, NATURAL INGREDIENTS
Our Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus Foetidus) Root is selected from regions with optimal growing conditions to support a high concentration of active constituents. We work only with trusted suppliers and focus on sourcing clean, well-preserved botanical material suitable for high-quality liquid extraction.

As a solvent, we use alcohol to preserve the integrity of the extract and support a clean extraction process.
To verify botanical identity and ensure consistency, all raw materials are tested in our laboratory using established analytical techniques. These include High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) for plant authentication and fingerprinting, or Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and other in-house methods. Our approach is guided by relevant standards such as those of the USP and Ph. Eur., ISO 17025 and cGLP, allowing us to maintain rigorous quality control, ensuring the material meets our specifications for identity, purity and composition.
METICULOUS EXTRACT PREPARATION
Hawaii Pharm determines the optimal herb-to-menstruum ratio for each botanical. For alcohol-based extracts, we use a carefully balanced alcohol blend to ensure maximum extraction of active compounds while preserving the plant's natural integrity.
Our master herbalists analyze each batch and adjust extraction parameters as needed, ensuring consistent quality despite natural variations in botanical sources.
The result is a potent, stable liquid extract that captures the full spectrum of the botanical's benefits.
COMPREHENSIVE LABORATORY TESTING
Every batch undergoes multiple quality assurance tests including:
  • Organoleptic evaluation (color, consistency, aroma)
  • FTIR and/or HPTLC spectral analysis for identity confirmation
  • Microbiological testing (total plate count, E. coli, coliforms)
  • Yeast and mold screening
  • Alcohol content verification
  • Viscosity measurement
  • Refractometric analysis
