FSS Yerba Santa Glycoprotein PF

Yerba Santa, meaning ‘holy weed’, has a rich history as a medicinal plant, used by Native Americans for centuries to treat respiratory conditions, wounds, and inflammation. Native to California, Oregon, and Northern Mexico, Yerba Santa is an evergreen shrub with leathery, resinous leaves and delicate trumpet-shaped flowers. Traditionally, the plant’s leaves were harvested for teas and poultices to treat colds, asthma, and skin wounds.

FSS Yerba Santa Glycoprotein PF harnesses the power of this ancient herb through fermentation with Lactobacillus lactis, breaking down complex bio-molecules to isolate beneficial components like glycoproteins. These bio-compounds provide protective and restorative benefits to both skin and hair, shielding them from pollution and oxidative stress while enhancing hydration and soothing irritated tissues.
