Eucommia Bark Extract INCI Name Eucommia Ulmoides Extract CAS 223749-00-6 Cortex Eucommiae Eucommia Ulmoides Cortex Eucommia ulmoides oliv photo picture image Eucommia bark is peeled from trees that are ten years old or older. A small patch of the bark is peeled off the tree each year so as not to harm the tree, which can grow to be over a hundred years old. The older the bark, the thicker it becomes.

 Inside the bark is a pure white latex. Eucommia is in fact the only temperate zone rubber tree. This latex is noticeably elastic. If you gently break a piece of Eucommia bark and stretch it slightly, the latex will stretch. This rubber is believed to confer strength to connective tissue and is considered to be part of Eucommia's active ingredients. The thicker and stronger this latex, the better the quality of the specimen. Therefor, in purchasing Eucommia, select (1) thick pieces, since these are older, (2) Eucommia with the most white latex. Very old Eucommia is called "Hundred Year Old Pear Tree Bark." This bark may not be 100 years old, but it is certainly 30 to 50 years old and is very, very good. When you can find this, buy as much as you can afford and store it away in tightly closed containers. Otherwise, purchase the oldest Eucommia you can find.

 Eucommia usually comes "pre-sliced." You will note small transverse slices across the bark at quarter inch intervals. These slices expose the inside of the bark, including the latex. This is standard practice. If the Eucommia you purchase does not come sliced, have the herb shop slice it for you, or you will have to slice it yourself. The inside must be exposed to the cooking water in order to be properly and efficiently cooked.
