Japanese Bloodgrass

Japanese Bloodgrass

Imperata cylindrica, also known as Japanese blood grass or cogon grass, is native to warm regions in Japan that are prone to flooding. This hearty plant is able to survive in a wide range of climates due to its thick underlayer of rhizomes and the abundance of protective silica crystals embedded in its leaves. Silica makes connective tissues like collagen strong and flexible, providing structure and protection to skin cells, ensuring they operate correctly. It does this by creating bonds with protein molecules that activate enzymes needed for the collagen network to function properly. This helps skin retain moisture, which is critical for cellular repair and longevity.
