About YUCCA SCHIDIGERA STEM EXTRACT

A gentle cleansing ingredient derived from natural sources.

Detailed Analysis

Yucca Schidigera Extract is an extract of the stems of the yucca, Yucca schidigera, Liliaceae. In cosmetics it is used mainly as a cleansing agent and a perfuming agent. These kinds of extracts are valued for saponins, natural surfactant molecules that help lift oil and residue. That cleansing activity can be useful in wash-off products, but it can also feel drying or sting a compromised skin barrier.
