FRAGARIA CHILOENSIS FRUIT JUICE

Description

FRAGARIA CHILOENSIS FRUIT JUICE, derived from the Chilean strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis), is a potent botanical extract gaining attention in skincare and haircare formulations. This juice is rich in polyphenols, particularly ellagic acid and anthocyanins, which are known for their powerful antioxidant properties. These compounds help protect the skin and hair from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

The juice also contains high levels of vitamin C, which plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis and skin brightening. Its natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) provide gentle exfoliation, promoting cell turnover and improving skin texture. For haircare, these AHAs can help balance scalp pH and remove buildup.

Fragaria chiloensis fruit juice offers hydrating properties due to its sugar content and natural humectants. It may help improve skin moisture retention and hair hydration. The extract's anti-inflammatory properties can potentially soothe irritated skin and scalp conditions.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 1-5%. It's compatible with most skincare and haircare ingredients, making it versatile for various product types, from serums and moisturizers to shampoos and hair masks.
