Pearl + snow lotus plant cream
Formulated with the precious snow lotus plant
Kim Co. Ltd
Thailand
20g

The snow lotus, a specialty and a rare herb produced in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, grows in the crevices in rocks scattered above the snow level on the mountains of Tianshan, Altai, and Kunlun. It is a perennial herb and grows slowly although with strong vitality. Usually, only 5 percent of the seeds can sprout, and the plant requires three years of growth to reach fruition.

Due to the low temperature, the snow does not melt in spring and autumn. Growing in this environment, the property of snow lotus is lukewarm and tastes a little bit bitter. It enhances the Yang, the essence of male energy, and regulates the Ying, the essence of female activity. Successful harvesting has made this plant commercially available in limited quantities.

Currently, more than 60 kinds of medicine, health care products, and cosmetics are made of the plants, using about 20 tons of dry snow lotuses a year. Picture on the left show wild snow lotuses growing in the arid regions of Xinjiang.
