What is Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark?

Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark (MHRB) is the reddish-brown inner bark found at the base of the Mimosa tenuiflora tree. This bark is rich in natural tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids. These compounds give it powerful healing, coloring, and antioxidant properties. We sell them in shredded, chipped, or powdered form, depending on your use.

Key Benefits of Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark

1. Natural Wound Healing Support
For centuries, Indigenous healers have used Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark to treat burns, cuts, and skin infections. It is rich in tannins that help protect the skin while promoting faster healing. Scientific studies have confirmed its antimicrobial and skin-regenerating effects.

2. Vibrant Natural Dye for Fabrics
Mimosa hostilis is highly prized for its use as a natural dye. It produces stunning purple, lavender, and burgundy colors on natural fabrics like cotton, wool, and silk. The dye is long-lasting, non-toxic, and eco-friendly. Its high tannin content also acts as a natural mordant, making it perfect for beginners and professional dyers alike.

3. Skincare and Botanical Formulations
Many natural skincare brands include Mimosa Hostilis in their products due to its ability to soothe inflammation and support skin regeneration. It can be infused into oils, added to soaps, or used in masks and balms.

4. Herbal Research and Ethnobotany
Because of its long traditional use and active plant compounds, Mimosa Hostilis is also of interest in ethnobotanical and phytochemical research.
