Kaki (Persimmon) belongs to the Ebenaceae family and is a temperate fruit with a naturally sweet flavor and low acidity. Rich in bioactive compounds, its leaves are valued for their high antioxidant content, including carotene and flavonoids, which combat oxidative stress and support skin health. With 20 times more vitamin C than lemons, Kaki leaves help inhibit melanin production, reduce freckles, and promote collagen synthesis, making them a powerful ingredient for youthful, radiant skin and overall wellness.

Anise Pepper is derived from the dried berries of Zanthoxylum piperitum, a deciduous plant belonging to the Rutaceae family. Commonly known as Japanese pepper or Japanese prickly-ash, this plant is native to Japan, China, and Korea. The entire plant carries a characteristic aromatic profile. The fruit of Z. piperitum has been identified as a rich source of natural antioxidants and bioactive compounds. Research indicates that hyperoside and quercitrin—isolated from its methanol extract—exhibit strong free radical-scavenging activity and significantly inhibit lipid peroxidation. These properties make Japanese pepper a valuable botanical for use in formulations aimed at skin protection and antioxidant support.
