The scientists at StixFresh have used what plants naturally secrete to protect themselves from harmful environmental conditions and applied this formulation to the surface of its stickers.

The patent-pending all-natural formula also includes beeswax. In the vapor-phase, the re-purposed compounds work together to create a protective layer around the fruit, which has been shown to slow down decay and prevent over-ripening.

StixFresh’s all-natural, chemical-free ingredients are food-grade and meet GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) requirements in accordance with the FDA.

Also, standard migration tests concluded that none of the sticker’s substances migrate directly into fruit. That means StixFresh won’t discolor fruit or change its taste. Rather, it keeps it naturally sweet and delicious!

The sticker has been independently tested and scientifically shown to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for longer. Further independent studies have also shown that fruits treated with the StixFresh sticker show increased sweetness, higher retention of moisture, and sustained cellular structure resulting in increased firmness. The stickers have been tested on apples, pears, avocados, mangos, citrus fruits, papayas, star-fruits, and kiwis.
