What Is Tepezcohuite?
Tepezcohuite is the common name in Mexico for Mimosa tenuiflora, a thorny tree that grows from southern Mexico to northeastern Brazil. In the US it is better known as Mimosa hostilis, and its dried inner root bark is sold as MHRB.
In Mexico, tepezcohuite bark has been part of skin care traditions for generations, and that is where the creams, masks and soaps sold under its name come from. We treat it as a traditional cosmetic ingredient, not a treatment. Learn more in our Mimosa hostilis guide and in Mimosa hostilis benefits for skin care.
