Stories from Nature
Bamboo is one of the most versatile plants found in nature.
Known as Bambusa arundinacea, it is a plant native to Asia that belongs to the Poaceae family.
It
has countless nutritional properties. It grows quite quickly—up to 25 cm per day—and spreads rapidly in the areas where it is planted.
Bamboo is used in a wide variety of products, from clothing to medicines, from construction to cosmetics.
The extract derived from the plant’s stems and leaves has an extremely high content of organic silica. This mineral is naturally present in our bodies and plays a fundamental role in collagen production and in maintaining healthy, elastic tissues. Its production, however, tends to decrease over time.
Benefits
Bamboo extract imparts elasticity to the skin and hair and possesses mineralizing and anti-aging properties. The unique fibers extracted from bamboo bind to the hair shaft, making it stronger and fuller. It also has moisturizing and strengthening properties.
