Bambusa arundinacea, a variety of bamboo found throughout India, is a fast-growing type of reed with a tall, hollow stem. The substance that forms in drops on the nodes of the stems are known as “bamboo tears” or “tabashir." It is very rich in silica and used in cosmetics for its visible firming and toning benefits.
