Natural Cleansing with Quillaja

Quillaja_photoHave you been searching for a 100% natural and organic cleansing ingredient?

Search no further - BioOrganic Concepts is pleased to announce a revolutionary ingredient from the Andes Mountains in Chile - Quillaja.

Quillaja is an ideal foaming agent, providing gentle cleansing action without damaging the skin. It can be used in myriad cleansing applications including shampoos, shaving creams, mousses, bubble baths, soaps and facial cleansers.

The thick inner bark of quillaja saponaria – known in the rain forests of Chile and Peru as soap bark tree – lathers when rubbed with water. For over one hundred years, quillaja has solidified a reputation among Andean tribal cultures as nature’s soap.

Derived from the Chilean word “quillean”, quillaja literally means “to wash.” Natives have long used the bark to cleanse delicate silk and wool garments that would otherwise be damaged by detergents. Quillaja is so gentle that it removes grease without stripping the hair or skin of its natural protective layer.

Up to 10% of quillaja consists of saponins, natural surfactants which break down excess scalp oil, making it ideal for use as a shampoo. Applied topically, quillaja soothes and protects the skin from dryness and cracking, as well as relieving itching or insect bites. Saponins have demonstrated a range of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties in cosmetics, hand and face washes and moisturizers.

When extracted from the leaves, flowers or roots of plants, these colors find their way into candles, as well as a variety of everyday cosmetics, including lipsticks, eye shadows and blushes.

Well beyond their uses as a colorant, Siddha plants have long played a vital role in the medicines and cosmetics of India, in some cases, earning a permanent spot in the country's rich folklore. Here's a look at the many natural benefits of BioOrganic Concept's most popular Siddah colors.
