Kiwi Extract G
Contains Glycerin - Preserved with
Leucidal Liquid
The kiwi plant
is a vigorous, deciduous climber that grows to about 9 meters in height,
tolerating full sun or semi-shade. The scented flowers are insect
pollinated and appear in summer. The egg-shaped fruit, commonly known as kiwi,
has a furry, brown skin and firm, translucent, emerald green flesh with
numerous small, edible, black seeds at the center. When ripe, it is very
juicy with a refreshing acid flavor. Kiwi is native to China and Taiwan,
but today, cultivation is widespread throughout the world.
Kiwi Extract
is commonly used in formulations because it contains a high amount of essential
fatty acids, potassium and Vitamin C. It also has antioxidant properties,
which makes a great ingredient to use in anti-aging applications.
