Japanese quince or flowering quince is a rose-like short shrub that forms beautiful orange-red flowers in the summer and produces yellow, knobbly fruits that smell like citrus in the autumn.
Djusie uses cold-pressed oil from flowering quince seeds, which has a sweet scent that resembles marzipan. The oil is a zero-waste by-product from the juice industry.
Flowering quince seed oil is rich in omega-6 or linoleic acid (over 50% of the fatty acids), omega-9 or oleic acid (approximately 34%), and palmitic acid (about 9%). In addition to fatty acids, Flowering quince seed oil contains vitamin E and carotenoids.
Flowering quince seed oil soothes inflammation, strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, balances the skin’s sebum secretion, smooths fine lines, brightens skin tone, and protects the skin from cell damage caused by UV radiation and external stressors.
