Natural Peach Gum 50g | Traditional Japanese Beauty Food

Natural Peach Gum (桃膠), a beautiful amber-colored resin collected from the bark of wild peach trees. This fully natural substance has been cherished in Japan and China for centuries as both a health food and a beauty secret.

History in Japan and Asia

Peach trees hold deep symbolism in Japanese culture, representing vitality, purity, and longevity. During the Edo period, peach gum was regarded as a luxurious delicacy and a beauty aid among noblewomen who believed it promoted smooth and radiant skin. The gentle, plant-based “collagen” in peach gum made it a traditional remedy for maintaining youth and hydration from within.

What Is Peach Gum?

Peach gum is a natural plant resin that hardens into golden, crystal-like pieces on the bark of the peach tree. When soaked in water, these pieces expand into translucent, jelly-like pearls. It is completely vegan and naturally rich in plant-based collagen and polysaccharides, known for supporting healthy skin and digestion.

How to Use

For culinary use:
Soak about 5–10 grams of dried peach gum in clean water for 12–24 hours until the pieces soften and expand. Rinse thoroughly, remove impurities, and boil for 5–10 minutes. Add to desserts, herbal teas, or soups. It pairs beautifully with ingredients like snow fungus, goji berries, and rock sugar to create a traditional, nourishing Japanese-Chinese sweet soup.

For skincare use:
Peach gum can also be used in homemade face masks or relaxing bath soaks. Once soaked and boiled, it can help hydrate and refresh the skin. Always make sure it is fully cleaned and cooked before any topical application.
