Exploring the Benefits of Firebrush in Skin-care Products
The cosmetic skin-care line CelSana LLC uses the Hamelia patens plant as a main component in its non-medicated skin moisturizers. Hamelia patens, also known as firebush, is a shrub or small tree with orange-red tube-like flowers. Found in the southern United States in Florida and stretching down into Argentina, firebush thrives in warm climates and produces a fruit that is popular to hummingbirds. The small dark-red berries have an acidic taste and are edible to humans. Firebush bark is known to have a large amount of tannins in it, along with active compounds throughout the plant. The leaves are used in indigenous medicines to help treat skin infections. In Belize, firebush is known as "the guardian of the forest.” CelSana LLC is based out of Fort Worth, Texas. The company offers products including day and night serums, face cleansers, and color spot treatments with Cupio-Rase, a patent pending ingredient in CelSana’s topical cosmetic creams.
