Desert King promotes Quillaja as a natural ingredient transforming the Personal Care & Cosmetic industry
In a market demanding higher standards for ingredient traceability and performance, Desert King leads with its Quillaja saponins, a plant-based active driving a new generation of eco-friendly, high-performance products. Its responsible management model and pioneering agroforestry practices ensure a high-quality, sustainable supply, aligned with the global Clean Label trend.
This commitment is embodied in our Andean line of products (available in liquid and powder). These are purified extracts that are non-preserved, certified organic and vegan-friendly, proven in clinical studies to be highly valuable additions to cosmetic formulations. Their benefits include reducing excess sebum and decreasing blemishes in acne-prone skin. Research has also confirmed its ability to reduce UV-induced skin redness and repair the skin barrier, positioning it as a key ingredient in sun care formulations. Last but not least, it’s a natural foaming agent, dispersing agent and emulsifier.
As the world’s largest Quillaja producer, Desert King works with strategic partners to bring these innovations to different markets around the world. Recently, the company strengthened its presence in Oceania through an alliance with IMCD Group in Australia and New Zealand, expanding the distribution of nature-based solutions.
In this way, Desert King reaffirms its leadership in plant biotechnology and its commitment to sustainability, contributing to the development of a cosmetic industry that combines performance, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
