Corn Silk (Zea Mays) is exactly what its name suggests - the fine, silky threads found under the husk of an ear of corn. These threads are the stigmas of the corn (or maize) plant, botanically Zea mays, of the grass family. Corn silk has a long history as a traditional herb; in Chinese herbalism it is called Yu Mi Xu. The part used here is the silk - not the kernels, the oil, or the starch.

•  

  WHOLE-SILK LIQUID EXTRACT: Made from the dried corn silk (stigmas) of Zea mays, carrying the plant's natural spectrum of constituents rather than an isolated or standardized single compound.

•  

  ALCOHOL-FREE, GLYCERIN BASE: Our extract is 100% alcohol-free, made with a smooth vegetable glycerin base and purified water.

•  

  THE SILK, NOT THE CORN: This is the corn silk (the fine threads), distinct from the corn kernels, corn oil, and cornstarch that the plant is best known for.

•  

  A LIQUID EXTRACT, NOT TEA: Corn silk is often sold as a tea; this is a concentrated liquid extract you take by the drop.

•  

  CLEARLY LABELED: Labeled by botanical name and plant part, so there is no confusion with corn kernels, corn silk tea, or the cosmetic shade called "cornsilk."

Zea mays - Corn Silk, Yu Mi Xu, Stigma Maydis
