FSS Guava Extract

Background:

Exotic, natural and botanical are descriptive words that consumers gravitate towards for nutrition and beauty. Guava are sweet and delicious fruits native to South America and commonly cultivated in tropical climates. With a powerhouse of nutrients, guava are a staple superfruit in the food and cosmetic industries. Potent antioxidant, astringent, and detoxifying properties promote guava as a rejuvenating ingredient for the body inside and out.

Guava are rich in vitamins including vitamins A and C. A single guava can contain four times more vitamin C than an orange. Vitamins A and C are potent antioxidants often used in cosmetics to reduce free radical damage. This cellular damage ultimately leads to fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of aging on the skin. Vitamins are also known to enhance collagen synthesis and reduce problem skin breakouts. Vitamin A is commonly used in skin care applications to target excessive sebum production resulting in a healthy complexion

The seeds of the fruit are also rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids can provide anti-inflammatory properties while also offering additional conditioning benefits. Guava have been traditionally used in herbal medicine for their natural phytonutrients and anti-bacterial properties. FSS Guava Extract may be used in a variety of hair and skin care applications to offer nourishing and rejuvenating benefits while capitalizing on the benefits associated with guava.
