You may recognize dragon fruit as the exotic prickly looking fruit sitting on some supermarket shelves. A mild tasting fruit whose inside looks like a white kiwi when peeled, cosmetics manufacturers may soon be incorporating dragon fruit extract into their anti aging skin care formulations.
Dragon fruit grows in dry, tropical climates and because of this, it possesses defense mechanisms to help protect it against the harsh climate.
A chemical company has isolated compounds called dormins from dragon fruit. Dormins are natural extracts from plants and plant organs in their dormant stage that are able to slow down cell proliferation, maintain younger healthier skin and provide the means for better skin protection.
Dormins…from dragon fruit…coming to you soon!
