FSS
Yucca Extract PF is a natural, pure extract derived from the Mohave
Yucca plant (Yucca glauca), native to the southwestern desert of North America.
Being part of the Lily family, the plant produces rosettes of rigid, slender,
sword-shaped leaves and tall, candelabrum-like panicles of large, drooping,
waxy, bell-shaped flowers. It is also known by the names, "Adam’s Needle”,
"Spanish Bayonet,” "Spanish Dagger”, and "Soap Root.” Its soap
reference is due to the long historical use of the plant’s roots as a foaming
cleanser.
The
Yucca plant’s active constituents are glycoproteins and saponins, which account
for its lathering ability. Today the Yucca glauca plant is being used in a wide
range of applications from foaming agents in the beverage industry to an active
ingredient in the cosmetic industry. Native Americans, specifically the
American Indians have widely used the Yucca plant for hundreds of years for a
variety of conditions. Based on the traditional process used by the American
Indians, we carry out an aqueous extraction of the yucca roots to produce the FSS
Yucca Extract PF. The outcome is a satin-feel, faintly yellowish color
solution with properties that may contribute to skin moisturization, skin cell
renewal, skin cell proliferation and hair stress/ strain properties. This
extraction process allows us to isolate key components from the plant’s roots,
such as vitamins, proteins, minerals, amino acids, and sugars.
The
sugars impart an exfoliating benefit to rough, dry skin for a softer, smoother
feeling. Amino acids, a moisture-retaining ingredient, also aid in skin
cleansing. The extract also helps to strengthen hair. Hair is 88% protein and
needs vitamins, minerals and amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) to
stay strong, and healthy for optimum growth stimulation.
FSS
Yucca Extract PF is derived from the root of the plant and contains
essential vitamins, proteins, potassium, calcium, iron, and amino acids. FSS
Yucca Extract PF has a typical pH range of 5.0- 7.0 and can be used in hair
care formulations for cleansing, strengthening, and elasticity capabilities and
in skin care cosmetic formulations for elasticity and moisturizing qualities.
