INCI Name

Litchi Chinensis Fruit Extract, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate

The Plant: Lychee

Originally from the subtropical region of southern China (Canton Province), the first historical references to the lychee (Litchi chinensis) date back to the Han dynasty (140 to 86 BC). Popular across China, cultivation spread throughout Southeast Asia and island territories before reaching the Western world via Hawaii, Florida, India, and South Africa.

The lychee tree is a medium-sized tree that reaches 15 to 20 meters in height and is the sole member of the genus in the Sapindaceae family. A single lychee tree can yield between 150 to 200 kg of fruit per harvest. The translucent, gelatinous white pulp offers a sweet, delicate flavor and is rich in vitamin C (50 mg per 100g of pulp) as well as potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and iron.
