Hibiscus Flower Glycerin Extract

The Glow Flower of Firming-Look Skin Care

Hibiscus has earned a cult following in natural skin care for its glow and firming image. Our Hibiscus Flower Glycerin Extract brings its fruit acids and anthocyanins into a liquid that blends easily into serums and masks.

Where Hibiscus Comes From

Hibiscus sabdariffa, also called roselle, is grown in tropical regions for its deep-red calyces, which are brewed into tart teas such as agua de Jamaica. Those calyces are rich in organic acids and anthocyanin pigments, giving hibiscus both its glow story and its pH-responsive color in formulas.
