Tepezcohuite Bark 

As is the case with many plant-based ingredients, they are not just one simple ingredient. More often than not, they are a complex mixture of several different compounds. This can make them a little tricky for sensitive skin types. Here are some of the main identified components of tepezcohuite bark:  

  • Glucosides:  This is derived from glucose or sugar. Glucosides may act as a mild cleanser to the skin. 
  • Lipids: Lipids are fats, found in all living cells. Lipids may help to support the skin’s moisture barrier, protecting the skin from moisture loss to the environment. A healthy skin barrier can also protect the skin from allergens and bacteria. Disruption of the skin’s barrier has been linked to skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. 
  • Tannins:  Tannins have been studied for their potential to reduce inflammation. While this research is still in the preliminary stages, the evidence supports the claim. Reduction in inflammation has previously been associated with a decrease in the visible signs of aging.
  • Xylose:  Xylose is a natural sugar found in wood. It is theorized that this sugar may also help to maintain a healthy skin barrier. 
  • Flavonoids:  Valued for their antioxidant properties, flavonoids are included in skincare products to repair skin damaged by UV radiation and environmental factors.
