The power of plants

Bambusa arundinacea, a variety of bamboo found throughout India, is a fast-growing reed with tall, hollow stems. The nodes of these stems sometimes exude a substance known as 'Bamboo tears' or 'tabashir' in India, which is notably rich in silica.

Skincare benefits of Bamboo powder

The powder produced from Bamboo tears is commonly used to matify the skin when the particles are fine and to exfoliate when the particles are large. This powder is also used in make-up to improve hold.
