What Yucca Schidigera Root Extract is & what it does
Yucca Schidigera Root Extract comes from the root of the Mojave yucca, a desert plant naturally rich in saponins. Because of those saponins it can act as a mild natural surfactant and foam-stabilizing or skin-conditioning agent in cleansers and other formulas. It is not a UV filter and is usually present as a minor botanical ingredient. The same extract is also used as a foaming and conditioning aid in personal-care and household products.
