Product Description
Product Description
Wu Zhu Extract is a plant-based active that stands out for its immediate and visible brightening effect on the skin. Sourced from the fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa, a plant native to specific regions of China, this extract is created through a careful, sustainable process that honours both traditional practices and modern ethical sourcing.
The fruit is harvested from controlled areas where ethical labour standards are strictly maintained, free from child labour, slave labour, and gender discrimination. This ensures the extract not only supports skin vitality but also aligns with socially responsible values.
The extraction uses Propanediol, a skin-friendly, corn-derived solvent certified as non-GMO and sourced from technical starch cultivated in the Midwestern United States. This bio-based material serves as both a carrier and a humectant, further enhancing the skin’s feel and moisture retention.
Thanks to its brightening and complexion-enhancing properties, Wu Zhu Extract is an ideal addition to skincare ranges targeting dullness, tired skin, or uneven skin tone.
It works effectively in facial serums, light creams, and toners that aim to reveal a more vibrant, revitalised appearance.
How it Works
Wu Zhu Extract works wonders by brightening dull skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Rich in antioxidants, this extract protects the skin from damage and smooths out the texture. Its properties also soothe and calm the skin, perfect for sensitive skin types.
The extract is a clear to brown liquid with a very slight vegetal aroma. It is preservative-free and biodegradable, with a pH range of 5.5 to 8. All materials used are strictly of vegetable origin, so it’s suitable for vegan formulations.
It is preservative free and biodegradable with a pH of 5.5 - 8.
