Tepezcohuite (pronounced “Te-pez-co-whee-tay”)(or mimosa) is a long held beauty secret by the Mayans that is derived from Mexico’s “skin tree”.
Tepezchohuite is a perennial evergreen tree or shrub native to the northeastern region of Brazil and found as far north as southern Mexico.
Actor Salma Hayek considers it her and her families' beauty secret and has added this healing bark to her beauty line, Nuance. She is quoted as saying, “because my grandmother, who was a beauty, she died at 96 with no wrinkles. And you should see my mother! We have some family secrets. . . Have you heard of Tepezcohuite?"
The bark has a mysterious regenerative effect on skin and tissue.
Vital components found in its complex chemical makeup actually repair and protect skin cells (as shown in it's use in 5,000 burn victims in Mexico) - giving it the amazing ability to heal a wide range of skin problems especially acne and burns, and to promote younger-looking, healthy skin.

It has the ability to promote the growth rate of human cells in culture and has been shown to stimulate dermal fibroblast activity. Tepezcohuite inhibits hyaluronidase, an act that protects hyaluronic acid in the skin. Powder from the bark has a 2-3 hour pain killing effect on the skin. Bark powder causes skin to regenerate fully in a matter of weeks.
Studies show that at a 10% concentration, tepezcohuite can treat eczema and skin inflammation.Extensive research has been performed in labs throughout the world. They have found that Tepezcohuite (Tepescohuite in English) is non-toxic, a cellular regenerator, an anti-bacterial 300% more effective than streptomycin, and a powerful fungicide.

- Exfoliates the skin to leave it soft and radiant, removing dead cells and dry skin.
- Renews fresh skin tone for a more youthful look.
- Minimizes wrinkles and fine age lines.
- Guards against the signs of aging
- Promote the creation of new skin cells
- Stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to improve skin's elasticity
- Regenerate deep soft tissue and hair follicles
- Heal serious burns and skin blemishes
- Treat Psoriasis and Herpes I & II
- Minimize scarring
- Relieve the pain of sore, cracked or damaged skin
- Alleviate the discomfort of pressure sores
- Defend against bacteria, fungi and viral infections and germs
Powdered tepezcohuite bark contains large amounts (16%) of tannins, which act as an astringent, making the skin stop bleeding. This helps protect the body from infection, while the skin builds new protective tissue. It also contains three kinds of steroid, which have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Tannins in the bark diminish capillary permeability. It contains antioxidants flavonoids.
The bark is known to be rich in tannins, saponins, alkaloids, lipids, phytosterols, glucosides, xylose, rhamnose, arabinose, lupeol, methoxychalcones and kukulkanins.

Research
Extensive research has been performed in labs in Mexico, Canada and the United Kingdom. It is now used in commercial hair and skin products for rejuvenating skin.Tepezcohuite proved vital in the treatment of some of the 5,000 burn victims in the aftermath of a series of liquid petroleum gas explosions near Mexico City in San Juan, November 19, 1984. The Red Cross successfully treated victims by dusting their wounds with Tepezcohuite powder. It was also used to treat victims of a large 1985 earthquake in Mexico.
Powder from the bark has a 2-3 hour pain killing effect on the skin. Bark powder causes skin to regenerate fully in a matter of weeks. The results and some mechanisms thereof have been confirmed in the laboratory. Tepezcohuite is used to treat acne, psoriasis and herpes.
In vitro studies have shown three times more bacteriocidal activity on bacterial cultures than streptomycin, and it works to some degree in vivo.
In his study, Pharmaceutical preparation containing Mimosa Tenuiflora extract with skin-regenerating properties, Tellez is able to demonstrate the effectiveness of topically applying Tepezcohuite to treat eczema. In this study, tepezcohuite was topically applied, in a 10% concentration, on participants with eczema. Results not only showed an improvement in eczema, but also a significant decrease in inflammation. This study demonstrated the natural healing effects of Tepezcohuite, and also showed its healing effect on eczema.
