Extract Cucumber Liquid Distillate 10:1 (Water Soluble)

Cucumbers are climbing plants, but they may also grow on the ground. They are members of the gourd family and are widely farmed in Europe, America, Africa, and Asia. Cucumbers are high in key minerals such as magnesium, iron, essential amino acids, potassium, calcium, and zinc, in addition to having a high water content of 95%. Vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and E are also present.

BENEFITS AND APPLICATIONS-
