Where does it come from?
The sweet potato, from which Ipomoea batatas root extract is derived, is a root vegetable native to Central and South America. Today, it is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The extract is obtained through processes such as maceration, cold pressing, or solvent extraction, which help to retain the beneficial compounds in the sweet potato root. These compounds include vitamins A, C, and E, along with beta-carotene and other phytonutrients that contribute to the extract's skincare benefits.
