Mimosa Tenuiflora Bark Extract

Tepezcohuite Bark Extract

Tepezcohuite, derived from the bark of the Mimosa tenuiflora tree, also known as "tepezcohuite" or "skin tree," is rich in beneficial compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Traditionally used for wound healing, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, tepezcohuite offers soothing and regenerative effects on the skin, thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting skin health and vitality.

*It's important to note that our skincare formulations do not contain N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an indolic alkaloid found in Mimosa tenuiflora responsible for hallucinogenic activity. Additionally, we prioritize certified providers to ensure the highest quality and safety standards in our products.
