The power of plants

In Antiquity, the strawberry tree was associated with immortality, while more recently some have described it as a “miracle tree”. It is able to grow where others cannot. In this way, it actively helps to regenerate land with very restrictive living conditions. It restores soil balance and biodiversity, namely through its specific tolerance to certain pollutants. In fact, it has been proven that the strawberry tree has the ability to accumulate arsenic in its roots without being compromised. Therefore, this tree helps to stabilize the soil and protect it against erosion through its fast-developing roots, while eliminating surrounding toxins. Another unique feature is its small, round berries covered in tiny conical bumps which are known as strawberry tree fruit.

Skincare benefits of Organic strawberry tree fruit extract

Organic strawberry tree fruit extract inhibits the proliferation of sebocytes and significantly reduces the production of chemical stress-induced sebum, helping to prevent skin from looking shiny.

Responsible sourcing

Our organic strawberry tree fruit extract is obtained from a strawberry tree harvested in Portugal and Morocco. Harvesting is done by hand and respects the practice of wild harvesting to guarantee the long life of the plant and its environment.
