Summary
From a indigenous, bitter, drought resistant desert melon, we are turning a plant that has long been considered a weed into the next hero ingredient for the personal care industry. By evolving in an extreme ecosystem, the plant has adapted resilient characteristics and compounds that translate into stable ingredients with fantastic benefits when included in skin and hair products.
