Yucca Oil is a natural extract derived from the roots and stems of the Yucca schidigera plant, native to arid regions of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Typically processed through cold pressing or solvent extraction, this oil is known for its earthy, slightly herbal aroma and its high content of natural saponins, resveratrol, and antioxidants. Traditionally used by Indigenous cultures for medicinal and cleansing purposes, Yucca Oil is recognized today for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cleansing properties. It is widely utilized in cosmetics, hair and scalp treatments, animal care formulations, and natural cleaning solutions.
