Organic Schisandra chinensis: Wild cranberries

We extract precious active ingredients from Schisandra chinensis fruit as the main ingredients in our sensitive skin series, effectively soothing sensitive skin and reducing redness.
Schisandra chinensis
Schisandra chinensis is a twining shrub that grows in the wild (without pesticides or fertilizers) and is widely distributed in the temperate forests of central China. This berry, which resembles a gooseberry, is also widely found in the temperate forests of southwestern China, renowned for its beautiful scenery and rich biodiversity. We are involved in conservation efforts in this region, also known as the "home of the giant panda"—a true sanctuary for this endangered species.
