FSS Bamboo Water
Preserved with Leucidal Liquid
Bamboo is perhaps the perfect embodiment of the growing “green” movement. This highly sustainable plant has served as a source of food and shelter as well as artistic inspiration for centuries. Today bamboo is a popular decorative and active used in a variety of personal care and cosmetic applications. Recognized for its antioxidant properties, bamboo is also a unique source of nutrient rich bio-water which can be used to provide functional benefits.
Besides garnering appeal associated with using bamboo ingredients, bamboo bio waters are helpful for balancing osmotic pressure which will ensure proper hydration. Unlike deionized water which can shock the system, botanical bio waters contain a similar composition of minerals and elements as the water within our cells. Therefore, replacing deionized water with bamboo bio water may help limit the flux of water into and out of our cells. This will in turn optimize proper hydration levels to help create a supple, revitalized and youthful aesthetic.
FSS Bamboo Water is created by first grinding the bamboo into a fine mash. This frees the water from the plant matrix. A series of filtration techniques are then used to isolate the nutrient rich water without any of the plant matter. FSS Bamboo Water is excellent for use in skin and personal care applications as it can help balance hydration while also capturing the true essence of bamboo for additional marketing appeal.
