Personal Care & Cosmetics
For centuries the native people of Chile have used Quillaja extract to wash their hair and clothes due to its excellent cleansing properties. These extracts are rich in natural surfactant and contain other compounds including rich antioxidants. To achieve stable formulations and enhance performance, our products are purified and standardized for use in personal care and cosmetics.
A Pioneer In Sustainable Forest Management
Our products are manufactured in food grade facilities that comply with FDA regulations. All Quillaja saponaria and Yucca schidigera are wild harvested and government permits are required. Desert King pioneered a sustainable forestry management technique that does not rely on felling trees for bark. By better utilizing biomass from native forests and Quillaja plantations, Desert King is reducing pressure on native forests and creating long term sustainable harvesting. Our facilities are certified and audited by big pharma and the world’s leading beverage companies.
Andean™ Quillaja Extracts
These unique extracts are manufactured using aqueous extraction of Quillaja biomass, using an ecologically friendly and sustainable process that has earned Desert King recognition from the Chilean Ministry of Forestry. Desert King’s Andean™ Quillaja Extracts are rich in saponins, Certified Organic, non-GMO, Kosher and Halal certified. The high saponin content found in Andean™ Quillaja Extracts is the main active component which provides the excellent benefits and unique characteristics associated with this product’s formulation benefits (surfactant, cleansing agent/detergent, emulsifier, solubilizer, film former, moisturizer and pigment wetting/dispersing agent).
