ZIZIPHUS JOAZEIRO BARK EXTRACT

Description

Ziziphus Joazeiro Bark Extract is derived from the Brazilian Joazeiro tree, a plant native to the Caatinga biome of northeastern Brazil. This natural ingredient has gained attention in the skincare industry for its multifaceted benefits. Rich in saponins, particularly joazeiroside, the extract exhibits potent cleansing and foaming properties, making it an excellent alternative to synthetic surfactants in personal care products.

The extract demonstrates antimicrobial activity, potentially helping to combat acne-causing bacteria and maintain skin hygiene. Its astringent qualities can aid in tightening pores and regulating sebum production, beneficial for oily and combination skin types. Ziziphus Joazeiro Bark Extract also contains antioxidants that may protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.

In haircare formulations, this ingredient can help cleanse the scalp and add volume to hair. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin and scalp conditions. The extract's natural origin aligns with the growing demand for plant-based skincare ingredients. When formulating with Ziziphus Joazeiro Bark Extract, it's typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 5%, depending on the specific product application and desired effects.
