The Story

Ice Plant Extract

Harvested Invasive Ice Plant (Carpobrotus edulis)

Unlike most botanical ingredients, our ice plant isn't cultivated—it is responsibly harvested from invasive populations that have spread throughout California's coastal landscapes.

Originally introduced to stabilize soil, ice plant has since expanded across many coastal habitats, where it can outcompete native plant communities and alter local ecosystems.

Rather than seeing it only as an environmental challenge, we see an opportunity to give this remarkable succulent a second life.

What's Inside

Ice plant has attracted growing scientific interest for its diverse array of naturally occurring botanical compounds:

Polyphenols Flavonoids Antioxidants Phenolic Compounds Tannins

Like many succulents, it also contains naturally occurring polysaccharides and stores significant amounts of water within its tissues—helping it thrive in harsh coastal environments.

Our botanical extraction process is designed to preserve the natural character of harvested ice plant while allowing us to continue exploring its potential through future research and product development.

We're only beginning to understand the full potential of this remarkable botanical. As our research continues, we're committed to sharing what we learn with complete transparency.
