Why havent I heard of Yerba Santa before? Was it just recently discovered?
Yerba Santa was discovered hundreds of years ago by Native Americans, who used its natural moisturizing power. More recently, Yerba Santa was found to mimic the glycoproteins and polysaccharides found in the mucous membranes and in healthy skin. Whereas Aloe Vera is a very well known moisturizer, Yerba Santa has just recently been re-discovered. It is our goal to increase awareness of this powerful plant because studies show it is a far better moisturizer than Aloe.
