Would you believe that with a single product, you can blur wrinkles, and dark spots, restore vitality to your skin, and relieve burns and skin lesions? Well, Mimosa hostilis is capable of this and more.
What is Mimosa hostilis?
It is a natural substitute for botox and a superfood rescued from indigenous cultures with surprising effects for having important regenerative, antimicrobial, and analgesic properties that allow perfect and healthy skin.
It is known by several names “tree of life”, “the tree of skin” or “blacksmith’s stick”. This spiny tree with white-yellowish flowers is a relative of the acacias that grows from Mexico to Brazil and only the Mexican variety has the amazing therapeutic properties that include it in the superfood group.
Active ingredients and properties
Mimosa hostilis has valuable skin care properties due to the high nutrient content in its purplish bark that promotes the healing and growth of new cells that improve the appearance and well-being of the skin.
The Miamosa bark is highly used in natural medicine and currently, the demand for Mimosa Tenuiflora is high in the world of cosmetics and aesthetics because it contains large concentrations of tannins, astringent substances that, when in contact with the skin, react with proteins of the collagen and bind them together, making the skin more resistant to external damage (UV rays, extreme temperatures, infections, and contamination).
Also, this exceptionally nutrient-dense root bark is rich in flavonoids (antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic), copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc helping to nourish the skin to its full extent.
