Where it comes from
Lithops pseudotruncatella, commonly known as living stones, is a dwarf succulent native to the arid regions of Namibia and South Africa. The lysate is produced from laboratory-cultivated callus cells of the plant rather than harvesting wild specimens, making it a sustainable and renewable botanical ingredient.
