Sobre este ingrediente
Extract of kumazasa (dwarf bamboo) leaves, primarily Sasa veitchii and S. kurilensis from Japanese mountain regions. Used historically as a natural preservative for ekiben (railway lunchboxes) and traditional confectionery on the back of antibacterial polysaccharide content. Modern functional positioning leverages alkaline polysaccharide and chlorophyll-derived actives for both cosmetic (deodorising / antibacterial) and food-supplement (digestive / antioxidant) applications. Hokkaido and Nagano are the principal commercial harvest regions.
