THE STORY OF NANOACTIV CUCUMBER AQUAS
Nanoactiv Cucumber Aquas: The Cooling Hydrator for Fresh, Revitalized Skin
Nanoactiv Cucumber Aquas is a refreshing, water-based botanical extract derived fromCucumis sativus fruit. Naturally rich in vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, it provides instant hydration, soothing, and revitalization for tired or sensitive skin. A perfect natural ingredient for toners, gels, after-sun care, and cooling cosmetics.
Hydro-Extracted from Fresh Cucumbers for Maximum Refreshment
The extract is made by macerating fresh cucumber pulp in deionized water or glycerin under controlled conditions. This preserves key actives like ascorbic acid, caffeic acid, and silica, which deliver cooling and anti-inflammatory benefits. TRCkem supplies standardized Nanoactiv Cucumber Aquas stabilized with safe cosmetic preservatives for long shelf life.
