What is Bamboo Extract?
Bamboo Extract is a plant-based ingredient that is derived from the leaves and stems of the rapidly growing species of bamboo, including the popular Bambusa vulgaris or Phyllostachys edulis, known for their structural strength and nutritional value. It is generally extracted from the plants using a precise aqueous (or hydro-alcoholic) extraction process with the aim of retaining the potent antioxidants, after which the extract is sieved and subjected to a purification and vacuum-drying process for maximum stability. This yields a very fine powder with a light yellow to light brownish tan color, with a neutral odor, good dispersibility in both liquid and solid formulations. The most important active ingredient is natural silica (orthosilicic acid), which can sometimes be as much as 70%, and a wide range of flavonoids, phenolic acids, and essential amino acids. From a functional perspective, this extract is praised for its contribution to the strength of connecting tissues, the improvement of the appearance of the elasticity of the skin, and the mineral content is used for a natural smoothing effect on hair and nails. It also possesses a low antioxidant activity, which protects the cells from oxidative damage by the environment. It is now widely used in the cosmetic industry for anti-aging and strengthening products, the nutraceutical industry for beauty within – without the need to consume the entire plant – and even in the food industry as a clean-label functional additive.
