Organic Cucumber – Natural Beauty Booster with Freshness Guarantee

The cucumber has a history dating back thousands of years: it was first mentioned around 200 BC. Even back then, the green fruit was considered a medicinal plant for skin inflammations and was widely cultivated, for example by the ancient Romans. Its success speaks for itself: even today, it is simply a must-have as a refreshing plant ingredient in natural skincare!

The cucumber belongs to the gourd family. It is one of the so-called "fruit vegetables" – similar to the tomato. The "Cucumis sativus," as its botanical name goes, is a creeping and climbing vine that also tolerates cooler temperatures well. Its fruits mature very quickly – which is why it is also among the 10 most popular cultivated vegetables worldwide.

Admittedly, the cucumber is not exactly a natural beauty. Although its dark green, shiny skin gives us an immediate sense of moisture and freshness, its shape and the unevenness of its exterior are not very aesthetic. True beauty in this fruit probably comes from within: it is packed with valuable vitamins, nutrients, and minerals that your body and skin can benefit from. The cucumber scores with a high content of fiber, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
