The Plant: Cajá (Spondias mombin)
Cajá (Spondias mombin L.) is a tropical fruit tree native to the Neotropics, widely distributed across Central and South America. The fruit, known as cajá or yellow mombin, possesses an appealing bittersweet taste and a vibrant yellow-orange color.
Naturally rich in essential sugars, fruit acids, vitamin C, carotenoids, and mineral salts (such as potassium, calcium, and phosphorus), Cajá pulp provides significant nourishing, refreshing, and astringent benefits for cosmetic applications.
