Slippery Elm Extract (Ulmus Fulva)

As an all-natural skin and hair care manufacturer, we are often asked about the benefits of Slippery Elm Extract.

Slippery Elm (Ulmus Fulva) derives its name from the inner bark of the elm tree. When the bark is powdered and mixed with water, it produces a thick, gel-like substance known as mucilage, which is exceptionally soothing and protective to the skin.

Traditionally used by Native American and Mexican cultures for centuries, Slippery Elm bark was soaked in water to form a natural, occlusive bandage that helped calm irritation and support wound healing.

Slippery Elm is naturally rich in amino acids, calcium, vitamins B1, B2, B3, and C, as well as essential minerals including zinc, phosphorus, iodine, and bromine. These nutrients help nourish the skin, reduce inflammation, and support overall skin health.

In modern skin care, Slippery Elm Extract is valued for its ability to soothe conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rosacea, while reducing redness, swelling, and irritation. The mucilage forms a protective, moisturizing layer that helps skin feel soft, calm, and supple.

Its natural antioxidants promote faster wound healing and encourage new cell growth, making Slippery Elm an excellent ingredient in anti-aging and barrier-repair formulations for both skin and hair care.
