Present in China since more than 200 million years, BAMBOO appeared in Europe in the 19th century. It was brought by the silk trader for their most wealthy clients. Symbol of strength and longevity, bamboo is mentioned in many Chinese legends. The Bamboo-King legend tells the story of a young baby found enclosed in a bamboo stem. The strength and the talent of this child made him the King of the Yelang kingdom. Nowadays, bamboo is still very used in Japanese traditional celebrations.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Floral Water Manufacturing Process
Bamboo water is obtained by steam distillation. During its manufacture, the aromatic compounds contained in bamboo leaves are extracted by steam distillation and then recovered by decantation. The use of steam helps extract active plant principles without changing their nature, and without organic solvents or chemical treatments. This environmentally sound process helps preserve the biological properties and olfactory wealth of floral waters. Bamboo water is truly “active”. Given that water is frequently the main component in cosmetic formulations, it can be fully or partially replaced by floral water to help boost the effectiveness of active ingredients and add a delicate fragrance to your natural formula. These transparent and colorless ingredients are easy to formulate and suitable for all skin types.
