ACHRAS SAPOTA FRUIT/SEED EXTRACT

Description

Achras Sapota Fruit/Seed Extract, derived from the tropical sapodilla fruit, is an emerging ingredient in skincare formulations. This extract is rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins, offering potent antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from free radical damage and oxidative stress. The fruit extract contains high levels of vitamin C, which promotes collagen synthesis and aids in skin brightening. Sapodilla seed extract is a source of oleic and linoleic acids, essential fatty acids that support skin barrier function and hydration.

The extract also contains saponins, natural compounds with gentle cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. Studies have shown that Achras Sapota extract exhibits antimicrobial activity, potentially beneficial in managing acne-prone skin. Its astringent qualities may help in tightening pores and regulating sebum production. The presence of triterpenes in the extract contributes to its potential anti-aging effects by promoting skin elasticity and firmness. When incorporated into skincare products, Achras Sapota Fruit/Seed Extract can provide multi-faceted benefits, including hydration, protection, and skin renewal.
