FSS Apple Extract G
Background:
As more consumers adopt healthier lifestyles, apples are becoming a dietary staple. The old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” plays into the importance of apples on our physical health. Along with this growing popularity, apples also seem to have endless uses that are not limited to just the food and nutrition industry. Apples are known for their natural occurrence of alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA’s), which help promote the appearance of healthier looking skin and hair. Apples often make an appearance in the personal care and cosmetics industry due to their known benefits.
Apples are rich sources of vitamins including vitamins A and C. Vitamin A is necessary to keep skin and hair smooth and moisturized. A lack of vitamin A can result in dry, brittle hair and skin. Vitamin C protects skin from free radical damage and from UV light exposure from the sun. Free radical damage can result in fine lines, wrinkles, and other increased signs of aging. Fiber and other antioxidants present maintain the elasticity of skin, which also assist with anti-aging. The vitamin and mineral content in apples are also believed to reduce dark circles under the eyes. Hair care products may be greatly impacted by the addition of apples to capitalize on their associated benefits.
Apples are high in vitamin content, antioxidants and phytonutrients that contribute to a flawless appearance. Perfect for use in skin, scalp and hair care applications, FSS Apple Extract G can be the perfect addition to any formulation. FSS Apple Extract G was developed to capitalize on the marketability and “beauty benefits” of this juicy fruit to deliver a revitalized appearance.
