Yucca Root: (Yucca Schidigera Root Extract) Yucca has been long known as the ‘soap root’ due to its cleansing and anti-septic properties & has been used to sooth and calm irritating skin conditions through its antioxidant elements. Typically, it is found in the Southwestern United States, Mexico and parts of South America—as you can see, it does best in dry climates.

Why would it be so frequently used in skin care products, besides the cleansing benefits? Yucca regenerates skin cells and provides necessary therapy to skin that is constantly exposed to, not only sunshine, but chemical parabens that age skin prematurely. Anti-inflammatory elements that refresh and rejuvenate skin are a mainstay of the Yucca root and this is why we choose to use it as an ingredient at PuraVeda Organics.
