What Is Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract?
Imperata cylindrica, also known as cogon grass, is a remarkable plant that thrives in arid desert conditions. Its ability to survive extreme drought comes from unique mechanisms for retaining moisture.
The root extract contains high concentrations of potassium, which helps regulate cellular water balance. It acts as a powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin and prevents evaporation.
This ingredient is particularly effective for maintaining hydration in challenging environmental conditions.
