The Andean root

Maca grows in the Peruvian Andes above 4000 meters, where cold nights, strong sun and wind make farming hard. The plant forms a small, round root that has been part of local life for centuries and is now known worldwide as a symbol of energy and vitality. That image transfers naturally to cosmetics: a resilient plant for skin that looks tired and needs a boost.

Radiance and firmness

The name points to radiance. The extract supports a brighter, more vital look together with a firmer feel, which suits face and neck creams for mature or tired-looking skin. In hair care it supports softness and a healthy-looking shine.

Formats

Nourishing face and neck creams, firming serums and gels, shampoos and balms with a vitality story and leave-in hair creams for soft, shiny hair all suit Radiancyl.

Processing and partners

Add it to the water phase below 40 °C and stir until uniform; propanediol in the extract helps it mix easily. Natural extracts can tint clear products slightly, so test the color in gels. Pair it with T-Resveratrol fluid for an antioxidant note and with Natural Lifting for a firming routine. The Guggul Hydroglycolic Extract suits a similar heritage concept.
