The Potential of Sugarcane Extracts in Skincare and Cosmetics
When most people think of sugarcane, they imagine sweet crystals or ethanol production. But this tall tropical grass (Saccharum officinarum L.), grown abundantly across the globe, holds a hidden secret: its byproducts are packed with natural compounds that may transform the skincare industry.
Instead of being burned for energy, sugarcane residues such as bagasse (fibrous stalk remains) and straw can be repurposed into high-value bioactive ingredients—a sustainable way to reduce waste and create natural skincare solutions.
