Hyperpigmentation, characterized by the excessive deposition of melanin in the skin, presents both cosmetic and psychological concerns. Ayurvedic medicine offers a holistic approach to skin health, and Bombax ceiba (Silk Cotton Tree), known as “Shalmali” in Ayurveda, is traditionally used for treating various skin disorders. This paper explores its ethnomedicinal use, phytochemistry, and the available pharmacological data supporting its application in managing hyperpigmentation.
