FSS Bitter Apple Extract
Preserved with Leucidal Liquid
Bitter Apple Extract is one of the newest extracts used in skin products. Apples are full of vitamins A and C and Zinc, which are all essential for glowing, healthy skin. Over the years, more and more people are choosing to adopt healthier lifestyles by including apples as part of their diets, thus supporting the old adage “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” The numerous apple varieties are as seemingly endless as their uses. The growing popularity of apples has lead to its usage outside of the food industry. The significance of apples in personal care products has been attributed to the presence of an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), malic acid, which promotes the appearance of healthy and smoother feeling skin.
AHA’s are being used more frequently in cosmetic formulations in order to exfoliate the skin and reduce signs of sun damage and aging. The idea of using AHA technology was inspired by chemical peel treatments used by dermatologists to treat various skin conditions. AHA usage has become increasingly popular as a result of their immediate perceived effects as well as their ease of use in aqueous systems while also improving the skin’s texture and minimizing the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles to create an overall healthy, revitalized aesthetic.
