Description
Bamboo Extract:
With a background of extensive traditional use in Japanese and Chinese medicinal culture and nutrition the Bamboo plant is a powerful botanical source of skin nutrients and increasingly since the 1960s a widely studied ingredient with growing focus on its benefits as a skincare ingredient.
Bambusa arundinacea Stem Powder is the powder obtained from the dried, ground stems of the Bamboo plant (Bambusa arundinacea), providing considerable refining and hydration to the skin matrix with its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and fatigue-combating benefit making it a power botanical for rejuvenation and cell growth.
One of the richest natural sources of silica in the planet, Bamboo contains approximately 70% of this essential mineral which is an instrumental trigger for collagen production the protein building block firming skin and giving it resilience, structure and youthful radiance.
Bamboo also naturally regulates the skin balance by holding moisture on the surface of the skin and helping to provide lasting hydration.
Comfrey Plant Extract:
Cited in the 17th Century by English Physician Nicholas Culpeper for its outstanding wound healing and structural strengthening properties extensive modern study of this common plant growing abundantly in Europe and also now naturalised in North America back up the early therapeutic claims attributed to Comfrey in the treatment of ‘Inward Wounds & Bruises, Wounds, Ruptures, broken Bones, Inflamation, Gout, and Pained joints’.
Much of the power of the plant is attributed to the compound Allantoin obtained from the root of the Comfrey plant which exhibits humectant activity drawing moisture into the skin and locking it into the layers to maintain optimal levels of hydration in the skin cells, contributing to skin softening and calming inflammation.
Allantoin derived from the comfrey plant is a powerful support for the exfoliation of the skin surface as it is a natural and gentle keratolytic (shedding away Keratin as the top layer of dead skin) and in that way boosting and supporting the skin’s natural cell turnover rate.
With it’s inherent anti-inflammatory properties helping to minimize irritation and its notable ability to promote new cell growth, Allantoin gently minimises potential dermal stress that can arise with exfoliation particularly for sensitive skin – to support healing and facilitate younger, brighter looking skin.
