The power of plants

The plant

The oldest cosmetic cliché in the world, and it survives because it is largely true. The fruit is more than ninety-five per cent water, held in a flesh that also carries small amounts of sugars and mineral salts. That is the whole appeal: something water-like that is not only water.
