A token of tradition...

A small tree native to the Caucasus, quince has been cultivated all over the Mediterranean region. In ancient times, its fruit – with its golden, downy peel – was offered to brides and grooms as a token of love and fertility. Its surprisingly hard, bitter flesh transforms when cooked into a sweet concoction, which can then be incorporated into a jelly or a candied fruit bar, while its leaves help treat coughs, cardiovascular diseases, and skin conditions.

COSMETIC EFFECTIVENESS

1, 2, 3... slim!

In cosmetics, organic quince extract helps tighten the skin’s structure to give it back its elasticity. It promotes fat elimination and regulates the overproduction of the fibres causing adipose tissue to be rigid.
