Mimosa Hostilis Powder – An All-Natural Source of Skin Care Products
The growing demand for all-natural products never seems to fade. Fortunately, supply always meets demand as nature is generative, though not exactly an infinite source of raw material. Still, new plants are always being discovered and advertised as having medicinal effects. By-products labeled as all-natural are created from these plants, including food supplements, cosmetics, soaps, and shampoos.
Although not all of these so-called natural products work for many, they are continually sponsored because they are advertised as organic, chemical-free, and natural. Consumers are more likely to purchase these products because of such labeling. Department and supermarket shelves are now full of these products due to the huge market that has been created. Health food stores have also sprung up with plant-based and all-natural items.
For example, the name of a certain tree in Brazil called Mimosa Hostilis sounds much more appealing than salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. When it is used as an ingredient in a product, people feel safe when they know that its component is of plant origin and not chemical.
One ingredient that makes consumers patronize these all-natural beauty products is mimosa hostilis powder. This powder is made from the Mimosa Hostilis or Jurema tree. The inner core of the tree’s bark is pulverized into a powder that can be used to produce natural dye. Some manufacturers use it in tanneries as a component in leather production.
An important feature of mimosa hostilis powder is its unique pink color. Its color makes it a favorite among cosmetic manufacturers as a source of bright red dye. However, it is more commonly used as an ingredient in many skin care products due to its natural properties.
As an ingredient in cosmetics such as face and hair products, mimosa hostilis powder is known to promote skin rejuvenation. It is also known to have antiseptic properties that are twice as effective as other bactericides. It was also found to have topical analgesic effects and can be used as an ingredient for topical ointments. It has been used successfully to treat burns. However, more research will need to be done before it can be used to treat burn patients in hospitals. With further studies and laboratory tests, there is more to discover about the chemical properties of this plant. In the future, its other uses can be shown to be good for the human body. By then, it can serve as an approved natural alternative to chemically made drugs.
