The Plant: Strawberry

The strawberry plant is the common name given to plants of the Rosaceae family, genus Fragaria. Producing a fruit renowned for its delicate flavor, strawberries have been cultivated and enjoyed for centuries, with early historical references dating back to Virgil and Pliny in ancient Rome.

Strawberries are rich in mucilages, essential sugars, organic acids, bioflavonoids, and key minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, and manganese. Naturally packed with protective nutrients, strawberries offer high nutritive, astringent, and soothing benefits for personal care.

Functions & Applications

Strawberries are rich in vitamins, moisturizing mucilages, essential sugars, antioxidant bioflavonoids, and mineral salts.

FRULIX STRAWBERRY possesses astringent, nutritive, and protective properties recommended for hair care products targeting treatment, cleansing, and color/fiber defense.

It is particularly recommended for chemically treated or damaged hair in leave-in and rinse-off formulations. Its moisturizing and emollient properties also make FRULIX STRAWBERRY ideal for nutritive skin care applications.

"As a more concentrated product, FRULIX STRAWBERRY should be used in smaller concentrations than those normally used when making formulas with conventional extracts."

Antioxidant Activity

Antioxidant activity testing conducted according to the Fenton protocol demonstrated that FRULIX STRAWBERRY inhibits deoxy-ribose decomposition by 84.6% compared to saline placebo, showing high free radical scavenging capacity.

FRULIX Exclusive Process

1. The Technology

FRULIX is obtained through an exclusive biotechnological process that mimics natural fruit ripening using native enzymes to transform solid pulp into a crystalline liquid.

Process Step 1

2. Enzyme Production

Fruits are harvested, washed, and made into a paste, which is fermented with targeted microorganisms to isolate specific pulp-softening enzymes.

Process Step 2

3. Fruit Processing

Fresh fruit pulp is inoculated with Frulix enzymes. Fibers and insoluble solids are removed, isolating the active liquid matrix.

Process Step 3

4. FRULIX Bioactive

The clear liquid undergoes preservation, quality standardization, and solvent-free filling ready for formulation.
