Springing out of dry earth, this grey-blue bush may look like common shrubbery, but saltbush is actually one of Australia’s best herbs. The edible plant, which is salty and herby in flavour, is an underutilised native food - especially given how versatile it is.
Native to Southern Australia, saltbush also known as Old Man Saltbush, Creeping Saltbush or Tjilyi-tjilyi (“Purngep” or “Binga”) has been used by the indigenous people of Australia for centuries for both culinary and medicinal purposes. The indigenous people collected the seeds to roast and grind for adding to damper, a traditional bush bread cooked over an open fire. It’s documented that the leaves were more medicinal, and often added to water as skin cleansers for sores, burns and wounds.
Today the NE Saltbush Cellular Extract brings new possibilities for haircare, blemished and reactive skin, premature aging, age lines and more. New possibilities to create new points of difference in cosmetic ranges.
Delivering “true to nature” hydrophilic plant profiles. Cellular Extraction harnesses the species’ water-soluble blueprint of phyto-compounds and their derivatives (the entourage), in their synergistic relationships, as they exist in the cell. Extracted rapidly under high pressure, we maintain the molecules’ natural integrity. Committed to conscious manufacturing, Cellular Extracts are created using purified, deionised, rain-harvested water and less plant material than past processes to produce a natural True to Nature plant extract, that is water-wise, repurposes waste, traceable to source, transparent in composition – delivering the brilliance of nature.
In pursuit to learn more about this species profile, we have listed publicly available, peer reviewed research on these compounds below. This is for educational purposes and is not based on clinical trials of the Cellular Extract. Extracts deliver natural molecules and connects your brand to nature.
