Spring Beauty Ingredient Trend: Bamboo

Bamboo is the newest wonder ingredient to hit the beauty world – and not just in product packaging!  Previously, I’ve seen bamboo advertised in product packaging or used for things like cosmetic brush handles.  Now, however, it’s actually being used in the products themselves – and producing great results!

Because bamboo can be harvested and replenished very easily, with little disruption to nature, it’s a great sustainable material.

Check out the range of ways bamboo is being used in the beauty world; some great options are featured below!

Naturopathica Lemongrass Mimosa Body Scrub

Micro-ground Bamboo exfoliates the outer layer of skin, while extracts of Sugar Cane, Citrus and Apple penetrate for deeper exfoliation.  Combined with zesty Lemongrass and exotic florals of mimosa, Jasmine and Ylang Ylang, this treatment energizes while removing dry, dull skin.

A nourishing, smoothing Darphin body scrub developed with natural and organic ingredients. Containing a subtle blend of essential oils and three exfoliating ingredients, this translucent aromatic gel texture is enriched with visible natural cranberry extracts, bamboo particles and silica powder for a multi-level exfoliating scrub.
