FRULIX Exclusive Process

1. The Technology

FRULIX is obtained through an exclusive biotechnological process that mimics the natural ripening of fruit. Native enzymes transform solid pulp into a crystalline liquid matrix.

2. Enzyme Production

Fruits are harvested, washed, and processed into a slurry inoculated with natural microorganisms to produce specific pulp-converting enzymes.

3. Fruit Processing

Seeds and rind are removed from fresh pulp before inoculation. Residues and insolubles are filtered out to obtain pure FRULIX liquid.

4. FRULIX Bioactive

The resulting clear active liquid receives natural stabilization, rigorous quality testing, and final packaging without solvents.

Applications & Benefits

Vitamins, proteins, and bioflavonoids present in FRULIX LEMON help to improve skin elasticity while providing natural antioxidant and dermoprotective properties.
