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.
