A functional and versatile plant powder

Thanks to its fine texture and stability, yucca root powder is easily incorporated into vegetable capsules, dry mixes for internal use, or natural cosmetic formulas (washing powders, scalp care). Its richness in saponins requires careful use, often combined with other mucilage plants or those with gentle digestive purposes.
