At Morganna’s, we’re passionate about harnessing the power of nature to create exceptional skincare. This dedication is evident in our use of short path distillation to extract the purest form of paracress, the star ingredient in our Paracress Flower Oil, Elixir, and Bellatox formulas. But what makes short path distillation so special, and why is it the best choice for our paracress-based products?

Short Path Distillation: A Gentle Approach to Purity

Think of a tea kettle steaming on your stove. As the water boils, it turns to vapor, leaving behind any impurities. Short path distillation works similarly, but with a specialized apparatus for plant extracts.

Here’s a breakdown:

1. Gentle Heating: The plant material is heated under vacuum, lowering its boiling point. This prevents delicate compounds from degrading due to high heat.
2. Short Distance Travel: The vaporized compounds travel a short distance to a condenser, where they cool and become liquid again. This minimizes the loss of valuable compounds and ensures a higher yield.
3. Precise Separation: The short path and controlled environment allow for precise separation of different compounds based on their boiling points. This results in a highly purified extract, free from unwanted residues.

Why Short Path Distillation is Ideal for Paracress

Paracress (Acmella oleracea), also known as the “toothache plant,” is a potent botanical renowned for its skin-enhancing properties. The flower, in particular, boasts the highest concentration of alkylamides, including spilanthol – the key compound responsible for paracress’s remarkable effects.

Short path distillation offers several key advantages when extracting paracress:

• Preservation of Spilanthol: Spilanthol is a delicate compound that can be damaged by high heat. Short path distillation’s gentle approach ensures its preservation, maximizing the potency of the final product.
• Unparalleled Purity: By effectively removing impurities like waxes, chlorophyll, and other unwanted plant matter, short path distillation yields a highly concentrated and pure paracress extract. This translates to a more effective and luxurious skincare experience.
• Sustainability: Short path distillation aligns with our commitment to sustainability. It requires less energy and water compared to traditional distillation methods, minimizing our environmental footprint.

The Morganna Difference: Paracress Flower Power in Three Powerful Forms

At Morganna’s, we meticulously source the aerial parts of the paracress plant, focusing on the flower to ensure the highest spilanthol content. Our commitment to quality extends to our extraction process, where we employ short path distillation to capture the full potential of this remarkable botanical.

This dedication results in three exceptional products:

• Paracress Flower Oil: This pure and potent oil delivers the concentrated power of paracress directly to your skin.
• Morganna’s Elixir: A luxurious blend featuring our paracress flower oil, formulated to revitalize and rejuvenate the skin.
