Rose of Jericho

Resurrection plants have a unique ability to survive extreme drought.
When deprived of water, the Rose of Jericho does not die, instead it enters a dormant state and can remain this way for many years. In order to protect its seeds, it retracts its roots and is carried across the desert sands by strong winds, until it finds a fresh source of water.
After appearing dead for years, it will “awaken” from its dormant state, open and disperse its seeds. If there is enough water in the new location, the seeds will germinate within a few hours.
MOISTURIZING EFFECT: A complex system of sugars contained within the heart of Rose of Jericho has the ability to retain moisture and increase cell metabolism causing it to spring back into life.
Oligo and polysaccharides are sugars and therefore very hygroscopic molecules that capture surrounding water particles and bind them to the skin.
