HIBISCUS POWDER
Fortifying and regenerating!
Native to West Africa, Hibiscus Sabdariffa, also known as 'Bissap' or 'Guinea Gold', is a shrub that produces young shoots and leaves traditionally consumed in cooking. Its red flowers are dried and infused to make sauces and jams, or drunk as juice or tea.
This powder, 100% natural and produced from flower petals, is rich in mucilage (moisturising and softening sugars) and antioxidants, which give it its innumerable properties.
Whether your skin is mature, dry, dull, stressed, or sensitive, it will be your best ally in the composition of your skincare products.
The botanical minute
Bissap is an herbaceous plant of the Malvaceae family that grows in tropical zones. Its leaves are simple, whole, or lobed. Bissap is probably the only plant whose calyxes, so loaded with organic acids, can be turned into fruit and used for the same purposes. The well-known hibiscus flower is consumed in certain regions, notably as an infusion to make Bissap, a drink said to have medicinal properties. Hibiscus oil, on the other hand, is made from the plant's seeds, which contain large quantities of vitamin E, phytotrons, and omega 6.
