Hibiscus Flowers (Bissap)
Hibiscus Flowers (Bissap) powder is obtained by shade-drying and mortar-grinding of carefully controlled Hibiscus sabdariffa flowers (calyces). Rich in natural pigments, vitamin C and antioxidants, it is traditionally valued across West Africa for skin radiance and hair care, and lends its characteristic deep red colour to cosmetic formulations.
