The fruit from heaven
You might never have heard of it - Gâc fruit. In Southeast Asia, it’s known as “the mother of all superfruits” or even “the fruit from heaven.”
Gâc grows only for a short season, from December to January, and even in Asia it can be difficult to find.
It was Toi who first introduced me to this bright red fruit in 2019. I’m so grateful she did — because Gâc offers one of nature’s most extraordinary gifts for the skin.
A fruit that feeds your skin from the inside out
This cheerful, spiky fruit, about the size of a melon, isn’t just eaten. It’s long been used in traditional Asian medicine for its vitamin- and mineral-rich properties.
When transformed into a fine powder or oil, Gâc fruit becomes a potent natural skincare ingredient - packed with antioxidants that help you achieve healthy, radiant, and youthful skin.
That’s why we consider it one of the most important elements in our Holy Balm - a natural nourishing balm and Herbal Mask – a gentle herbal face mask - two Saucha essentials that combine purity, effectiveness, and nature’s intelligence.
Power-packed with lycopene for radiant, rejuvenated skin
Gâc fruit is overflowing with lycopene, one of nature’s strongest antioxidants.
To put it in perspective, while tomatoes are often said to have the highest lycopene content, Gâc contains up to 70 times more.
Lycopene helps rejuvenate the skin and supports its natural healing process.
It boosts collagen production, evens skin tone, and slows the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
In skincare, lycopene protects against environmental stress, from UV rays to pollution, making it a powerful ally for those seeking natural "anti-aging" care.
Ten times the beta-carotene of carrots
Alongside lycopene, Gâc is also loaded with beta-carotene, the compound that gives carrots their orange hue. Only here, you’ll find ten times more.
Beta-carotene acts as a natural UV filter, and the body converts it into Vitamin A, an essential nutrient that keeps the skin firm, hydrated, and clear.
It supports cell renewal, reduces sensitivity to the sun, and helps wounds heal faster.
In other words, Gâc doesn’t just protect your skin, it helps it repair, regenerate, and glow naturally.
A natural source of essential vitamins and minerals
Beyond lycopene and beta-carotene, Gâc fruit is bursting with other nutrients:
- 40x more Vitamin C than oranges (for firmness and glow)
- 75x more Vitamin A than leafy greens (for hydration and clarity)
-
Vitamin E, B1, B2, B3, and B9, plus essential minerals like zinc, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron.
Together, these compounds make Gâc oil one of the most antioxidant-rich skincare ingredients in the world, helping to protect your skin against oxidative stress and premature aging.
Rooted in tradition
In Vietnam, Gâc isn’t just a fruit, it’s part of cultural tradition.
During New Year’s celebrations, families prepare a bright red rice dish colored with Gâc, believed to bring longevity, good fortune, and joy for the year ahead.
Saucha is proud to be the first skincare brand in Europe to use organic Gâc oil and powder.
We source directly from a small organic Gâc fruit farm in Northern Vietnam, ensuring purity, traceability, and fair collaboration.
