Biologi is proud of their plant to serum story — it’s what sets them apart from others. We thought you would love to read the journey from harvest to the delivery of their new SUPER serum, Bg Defence.

Strawberry Gum Tree
The Strawberry Gum (Eucalyptus Olida) tree is a rare species, is wild harvested, not plantation grown, and thrives in a drier environment.
Strawberry Gum trees are grown on the southern side of the Great Dividing Range, and although they are small trees, they are leaf abundant that produce flowers. Interestingly, the odour comes from the leaves not the flowers, therefore it’s leaf extraction that produces Biologi’s Bg Serum! Incredibly, the odour profile comes from oil sacs that are located underneath the leaf which are protected and safe from the environmental elements! How clever is nature!

Biologi's Ethos
Biologi treats nature the way it’s meant to be treated. That’s why the process from harvest to serum is an intensely delicate process. After harvesting, the Strawberry Gum leaves are immediately dried to keep the nutrients intact and potent. These fragile Strawberry Gum leaves are then rehydrated and extracted through CLECS II technology in a unique method cycle for leaves. It has taken Biologi years of research, development, and engineering to understand how to retrieve and extract the living tissue from plants and to further understand the differences in extracting fruit vs leaves.
Strawberry Gum Leaf Extract has a unique phyto-active combination of vitamin C, B3 niacinamide & salicylic acid – an unheard-of trio combination in traditional skincare. It boosts skin glow, improves the texture of skin all while protecting and shielding your skin from environmental aggressors!

Skin Aggressors That Affect The Skin
Did you know external or extrinsic ageing are the main factors that influence the way we age? Exposure to the sun, free radicals, inflammation, blue light, and pollution can have a direct impact on our skin from the way it ages, to how it can look and feel? These skin aggressors affect the skin by:
- Prematurely ageing the skin by breaking down important skin structures like collagen & elastin which leads to increased fine lines and wrinkles.
- Breaking down the all-important skin barrier which can lead to skin sensitisation, inflammation, and inflammatory ageing.
- Pollution can also increase eczema and dermatitis. It breaks down the all-important barrier function fats and disrupts the homeostasis of the skin.
