This plant, often called ‘Touch-Me-Not’ can help make your skin ultra-touchable!
Its scientific name is Mimosa Pudica and the variety used in Prinourish is grown in India, where it is called ‘Chui-Mui’ or ‘the delicate one’.
In Puerto Rico, this plant is called
"Moríviví", which translates to
"I died and lived"
Beautiful! Isn’t it?!
Its scientific name too has a similar story - the term 'Mimosa' originates from Greek, signifying 'mimic', and 'pudica' from Latin, meaning 'shy'.
But why?
This plant exhibits a folding movement in its leaves in response to external disturbances or contact. When touched or shaken, the compound leaves fold inward and droop, as a defensive mechanism, reopening a few minutes later.
The sensitive plant M. pudica showcases adaptability in its leaf-closing response to both electrical and mechanical stimuli.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL THAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE PLANT PRECIOUS!

The roots of Mimosa pudica possess a bitter, astringent, acrid, and cooling taste. In certain traditional medicine practices in Asian countries, they find application in managing appearance of inflammation. Within the plant lies the alkaloid mimosine, while its leaves contain a substance akin to adrenaline.
Studies conducted on M. pudica have identified alkaloids, non-protein amino acid (mimosine), flavonoids, C-glycosides, sterols, terpenoids, tannins, and fatty acids that turn it into a powerful botanical powerhouse (NOT your average trendy ingredient)
Picture this:
Alone, each compound has an impressive profile, but together?
