[Nature's Answer to Skin Recovery]
In the Korean skincare market, interest in naturally derived ingredients is steadily increasing, especially in vegan and clean beauty products. This trend reflects a growing ethical consumer culture that values not only skin health but also environmental and animal welfare. As a result, more domestic brands are turning to native plant-based ingredients like Tetragonia tetragonioides for functional skincare solutions.
[What is Tetragonia tetragonioides?]
Tetragonia tetragonioides, also known as New Zealand Spinach, is a coastal plant with the scientific name Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pall.) Kuntze. It grows in sandy coastal regions and is known for its strong vitality even in extreme conditions. Recognized for its thick leaves and sprawling stems, it has long been used as food and herbal medicine by indigenous communities in New Zealand and Australia. Its salt tolerance and resilience have led to its modern use in natural skincare.
Recent studies show that Tetragonia is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. These nutrients contribute to skin health and provide powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, making it an ideal ingredient for sensitive or troubled skin.
[How Is It Extracted?]
Tetragonia extract is typically obtained by thoroughly washing and low-temperature drying the leaves and stems after harvest. Then, active components are extracted using solvents like water or ethanol. The process requires careful control of time and temperature to preserve antioxidant activity, followed by filtration and concentration for safe use in cosmetics.
