What Is Mimosa Tenuiflora Bark Extract?
Mimosa Tenuiflora, also known as Tepezcohuite, is a tree native to Central and South America with remarkable skin-healing properties. The bark has been used traditionally for centuries to treat burns, wounds, and skin damage.
Modern research confirms its wound-healing, antimicrobial, and regenerative properties. The extract contains tannins, flavonoids, and other compounds that support skin repair and renewal.
