i am wondering if anyone has tried tepezcohuite and what your experiences with it have been. for anyone who doesn't know, tepezcohuite is a name for the mimosa tenuiflora tree, whose bark is rendered to use for skin products. i have read many good things about it and decided it would be worth a try.

i recently procured some tepezcohuite soap and skin cream and just started trying them out. i'll post about how it's working in due time.

...anyone?

I would love to try it for my eczema... but I don't want to waste my precious MHRB to make soap with...

I would very much like to know more of how it comes out .. i have also thought alot about this.. please if you complete this task p.m me to let me know when posted.... the benefits seem outstanding have read a few posts on other sites about it... good luck with it<3 peace..Oden

africa is warm... you can't grow your own trees out in the wilderness or something?
and if you have a few trees, you can harvest the bark too (it is around .03% as opposed to 1% iirc)
seems like a possible solution to me.

I used to have acne during my adolescence, but it still manifests even now. I tried every creme and lotion and didn't really help very much in this regard. After getting my powdered bark (Mimosa Tenuiflora powdered root bark), I attempted a cream by mixing with a bit of water.

The cream is sandy in texture, and it will warm your face up lightly (a lovely sensation me thinks, and also maybe proof that the actives are working?) After 2 days of using it, I had nothing on my face anymore. I'm actually a little stunned by what my home made cream accomplished; makes one remember just how efficient the pharmaceutical system really is.

I don't know about the soap though, but you can try and see if the cream benefits you. Plus, you don't have to waste much of the bark this way.

I'll work with it in the future as well, the opportunity should arise. Just my 2c.

I am a drifter and own no property, so unfortunately I don't have a space for or time to cultivate something as large and permanent as mimosa trees

sure i can certainly do that!


yes, this is mainly why i got the cream. my skin has been a mess lately and i have tried so many products that never work. the tepezcohuite makes my skin look pretty nice and has actually lessened some lines in my face in just a short time, but i am still waiting for my skin to clear up. although your story is interesting... do you still use the root bark? i am curious as to how all that goes

I only use it scarcely now, I don't need it as much anymore, but doing a daily program for a couple of weeks could probably work wonders...you don't have much to lose so if you have the time to try it, I say give it a go.

why not grow in the wilderness, away from public and private property?

Dude I have a bunch of them growing in my window under 2 lights..they are about 4 feet tall now and they grow frast..but it can definatily be done indoors..you will need big pots though for the roots and decent lighting..but it can be done. You can trim them when they get too large and keep them as indoor trees.
