What Is Physavie?

Physavie is a trademarked extract from Physalis angulata, a plant native to the Amazon rainforest traditionally used by indigenous peoples for its healing properties. The extract contains unique physalins and withanolides.

In skincare, Physavie has been shown to support skin regeneration and provide protection against oxidative stress. It helps maintain skin integrity and supports the natural repair processes.

This ingredient represents the growing interest in Amazonian botanicals and their traditional uses adapted for modern skincare applications.
