How has Tepezcohuite become so prominent in the skincare community?

We are not shy about saying we offered this serum 10 years ago. As usual, Garden of Wisdom was ahead of its time. We are always so proud when this happens (which happens a lot over the years).

Known as Tenuiflora Mimosa, or as Mimosa Hostilis, Tepezcohuite is a traditional Mexican plant. Tepezcohuite benefits in skin healing and skin care. The skincare community appreciates Tepezcohuite for its calming, antioxidant, and healing properties.

Salma Hayek says in Elle Magazine ...
"I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that's used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin," Hayek told Elle magazine. "Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like, 'Oh my God! How come nobody is using this?' This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings."

Exceptional Skin Rejuvenator

The root bark of Tepezcohuite has tannins, flavonoids, and trace minerals. These increase the presence of proteins for the skin. Tepezcohuite aids in burns and wounds, improves skin issues, fine lines, and signs of aging.

Natural Antimicrobial Action

Thanks to its high tannin levels, Tepezcohuite exhibits natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. This makes it a helpful ingredient in formulations for treating acne, healing wounds, or soothing irritated skin.

Reduces Inflammation

Tepezcohuite has anti-inflammatory properties. It helps reduce redness, swelling, and skin irritation. This makes it suitable for sensitive skin.

Rich in Protective Antioxidants

The plant contains flavonoids and saponins that combat free radicals. These provide a defense against pollution and sunlight that can speed up skin aging.

A Time-Honored Remedy

Its traditional use dates back to the 1980s, when it was used to treat severe burns in Mexico. Over time, people have started using Tepezcohuite for wound healing in South America and elsewhere.
