At one time, Yucca (Yucca Schidigera) was considered a potential source of phytosterols, a family of plant substances used to manufacture steroidal hormones.
Yucca teas have been used to relieve the inflammation of joints and pain caused by arthritis. Yococca's ability to produce soap suds has allowed it to be used as a foaming agent in root beer and other frothy drinks.
The cosmetic and soap industries have used yucca as a foaming agent for their products. It has also been used in shampoos for dry hair.
Yucca Schidigera Leaf/Root/Stem Extract is a light to medium amber liquid with a characteristic odor. Yucca extract is used in creams, lotions, moisturizers, cleansers, and facial washes. It can also be added to shampoos, rinses, conditioners, and bath care products.Synonyms
