Asia - Kudzu

Native to China and Japan, Kudzu root is harvested in Asia for use in health foods, teas, herbal medi-cines and the treatment of alcohol addiction. The plant’s climbing, clinging, vine-like shoots can grow several feet per year, and cover everything around them. Commonly called the Kudzu Vine, its excep-tional vitality is captured by its Latin name, Pueraria Lobata, which means forever young.

In cosmetics, Pueraria Lobata extract helps visibly reduce the look of puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles and crow’s feet.
