Yucca glycerite extract

GMO Free

Yucca is a genus of more than 40 known species of perennial shrubs and trees. It’s native to the hot and dry regions of the Americas, the southwestern United States, and the Caribbean, known for its sword-like leaves and clusters of white blossoms. Its root and bark have been used as traditional medicines by Native American cultures for thousands of years. The species most typically used for these practices is Yucca schidigera, or Spanish dagger.

High in saponin, yucca extract is often used as an active ingredient as it is said to show excellent skin cleansing action as well as being an anti-dandruff agent. For these reasons it can be found in foams, shampoos and shower gels, cleansers, gels and lotions, and other skin and hair care formulations looking to provide cleansing action.

It is also applicable as a co-surfactant and as a co-emulsifier and emulsion stabiliser. It is best applied with other natural surfactants.
