Our journey into the wonders of Date Palm Pollen (DPP) began over 12 years ago with a simple curiosity about this remarkable botanical substance. What started as a modest investigation quickly blossomed into an extensive scientific study involving cross-polarized and UV imaging, photospectrometry, bacterial growth analysis, and even a published clinical study. Dr. Rashad Tawashi believed there was something extraordinary about DPP (see our backstory video under Noor’s Journey), but the deeper we delved, the more we realized the need to protect our discoveries.
Given DPP's composition and its ability to thrive in harsh desert climates, we suspected it had potent healing properties. We conducted a pilot study to test DPP as an oral formulation on patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. The study examined DPP’s anti-inflammatory effects in radiation protection and demonstrated a significant reduction in the incidence and severity of oral mucositis among treated subjects. These groundbreaking results were published in Integrative Cancer Therapies (2014 Nov; 13(6): 468-72), and we secured two patents for using DPP in radiation protection and treating mucositis and general inflammatory conditions.
A particularly striking discovery came when we observed our DPP serum samples after being stored for several years. Despite being stored under poor conditions (no temperature control, no humidity control) for about four years, the samples showed no changes in consistency, smell, or texture. They looked identical to the day we made them. We hypothesized that the triterpenes, flavonoids, and polyphenols in DPP were responsible for preserving the samples. This led us to conduct a microbial challenge test on DPP, which it passed. This breakthrough indicated that a skincare product using DPP wouldn’t require synthetic preservatives like parabens (linked to cancer) yet still boast a long shelf life. We promptly filed a patent application for the preservation abilities of DPP.
