Baobab is the fruit of Africa's 'Tree of Life' (the Adasonia tree) and is the only fruit which dries naturally on the branch.

The fruit has a citrus flavour, and is found on the inside of hard pods which hang upside down from the tree. 

Monoi is actually a beauty secret that has been around for centuries, but is only produced in Tahiti, French Polynesia. It’s made by soaking Tahitian gardenia petals (also known as tiaré flowers) in pure extra virgin coconut oil for approximately a month.

In this series we will be taking a closer look at some of our favourite ingredients, why we use them in our skincare and what else they can do for us! Here at Evolve we only use ingredients that are beneficial to our skin...so if they are in our products...it’s because they are amazing! This week we are focusing on Maca, an ancient Peruvian plant. You will find this ingredient in our Miracle Mask because it is quite frankly... maca-nificent! (sorry!)

To understand why Hyaluronic Acid (also called Hyaluronate) really is a skin care miracle, you need to understand what it is, where it comes from and how it works.

Moringa is known as ‘The Miracle Tree’ and rightly so! It is packed full of vitamins, minerals and huge amounts of antioxidants so it makes the perfect ingredient to include into our brand new Daily Defence moisture mist.
