Mesembryanthemum crystallinum
Succulent annual from South Africa and Mediterranean with glistening water-filled cells; leaves eaten as food medicine.
Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, known as ice plant, is a succulent annual from South Africa and the Mediterranean, traditionally used for wound healing and skin conditions. Its active compounds include pinitol, ononitol, betaine, and flavonoids, which provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Modern evidence supports its topical use for wound healing and skin moisturization.
The wound healing effects are mediated by flavonoids and pinitol, which enhance collagen synthesis and reduce oxidative stress via activation of the Nrf2 pathway. Betaine acts as an osmoprotectant and inhibits NF-κB signaling, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. The high mucilage content forms a protective barrier, while oxalic acid contributes to antimicrobial activity but may accumulate in the kidneys.
