Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract description
Pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract is a species of apple; the fruit is a tremendous source of polyphenolic antioxidants, which lets it ably scavenge multiple types of free radicals before they damage skin. Recent studies also show it can improve skin’s hydration. The numerous types of apple-derived ingredients used in skin care have shown to be safe for skin; however, do keep in mind that in the case of apple stem cells, these do not work on skin as they do in the plant. Despite this disappointment, apple stem cells maintain their antioxidant benefit. Typical usage level of pomegranate fruit extract in skin care ranges from 0.1–0.5%, although higher amounts may be used if desired.
