Panama wood is an evergreen tree in the Rosaceae family from South America.
As its name does not indicate, it grows in Chile... and not in Panama.
This tree has cosmetic and industrial properties that have made its reputation for a very long time.
The Mapuché Amerindians already knew its virtues. Moreover, its name “Quillaja” is a derivative of the word “quillay” which itself comes from a word from the Mapuché language which means “to wash”.
Liquid or in chips, Panama wood is a real natural treasure.
It is a multi-purpose product, effective for hygiene and cleaning. Because if you cut its bark into shavings, you can wash yourself with this tree which contains saponin.
It also seems that we can also drink it, since it is used in the composition of beer to have a better foam;-)
