Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Powder, also known as bamboo powder, is a type of mineral-rich silicon that is extracted from bamboo stems. Bambusa Arundinacea is a species of bamboo native to India. This plant is characterised by its rapid regeneration and resilience and therefore harvesting bamboo is environmentally friendly. Bamboo powder is valued for its wide range of benefits for skin and hair, but also for its ability to absorb moisture.
Due to its properties, bamboo powder is widely used in the cosmetic industry. The use of bamboo powder in cosmetics replaces synthetic ingredients and artificial fillers in products. It is particularly popular in skin care products such as exfoliating treatments, cleansing masks or foundation make-ups. Its ability to absorb moisture and regulate sebum production makes it an ideal ingredient for powders and mattifying creams. Bamboo powder is also used in hair care products, where it helps to strengthen and firm the hair and increase its resistance to external influences. It is also found in soaps, shower gels and toothpastes. Bamboo powder is also a common ingredient in some dietary supplements and pet foods. In recent years, it has become increasingly popular in the search for natural and sustainable alternatives to traditional cosmetic and personal care products.
