About Altilis Beauty

Altilis is the species name of breadfruit, a staple food crop in the Pacific Islands and the key active ingredient in all Altilis beauty® products. In 2017, we discovered the skin care benefits of the breadfruit male inflorescences (flowers). From the breadfruit flowers we developed an extract, isolated the compound responsible for bioactivity, and structurally characterized it as a bioflavonoid with higher antioxidant activity than vitamin E and vitamin C. We have patented that process and formulated it into the Altilis Beauty InflorEssence line, which is the first ever skincare line in the world to be made from breadfruit. I am Destine, my goal is based around holistic sustainability to encourage Altilis Beauty, as a novel use of the plant, to continue to educate the world on breadfruit and its nourishing benefits. Breadfruit tree fun fact: one tree can feed a family of four for 50 years without them being malnourished because breadfruit “contain[s] a full spectrum of the essential amino acids”. Therefore, breadfruit trees benefit families and communities with sustainable food security and conservation of traditional knowledge. We try to portray the rich culture and values through the product packaging too. The box is made out of the highest recycled content: 30%. The pattern is our key ingredient breadfruit, as many people have not seen one before it is a great way to start the dialog. The ink of the box was also specially decided so that it could be 100% recycled.Read their story
