Latest launch of cosmetic ingredient supplier Mibelle Biochemistry: GlowAge. Based on the extract of the leaves of wild-growing plants of Ziziphus spina-christi, it prevents and reduces glycation in the skin for a rejuvenated and radiant appearance.
Ziziphus spina-christi, which is also known as jujube or Christ’s thorn, is an evergreen shrub that can also grow into a tree measuring up to 20 m in height. It is cultivated in northern Africa, throughout the Middle East, and in northern India.
It is very tolerant to high temperatures and grows in arid regions where dry seasons can last up to 10 months.
