About

A bamboo grass water used in Japanese skincare for its antioxidant and soothing properties, similar to bamboo leaf extracts.

Sasa kurilensis water is a steam distillate from a bamboo grass species native to East Asia, used in traditional and modern cosmetic formulations. The plant contains flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and hemicellulose-derived polysaccharides that contribute skin-conditioning and antioxidant benefits. It is not specifically restricted under EU Regulation 1223/2009. Limited toxicological data exists specifically for this species, though the closely related Sasa veitchii and Sasa palmata have been used safely in traditional contexts, providing indirect safety support for cosmetic use of this ingredient.
