PYRUS COMMUNIS FLOWER WATER

Description

Pyrus Communis Flower Water, derived from the blossoms of the common pear tree (Pyrus communis), is a natural and gentle hydrating agent used in skincare formulations. This botanical extract is rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which offer protective benefits against environmental stressors and free radicals.

The water is obtained through steam distillation of pear blossoms, resulting in a clear liquid with a subtle, fresh floral scent. Its composition includes trace minerals, vitamins, and organic acids that contribute to its skin-soothing properties. Pyrus Communis Flower Water has astringent qualities, helping to tighten pores and balance oil production, making it suitable for combination and oily skin types.

In skincare products, it functions as a natural toner and humectant, attracting moisture to the skin's surface and improving overall hydration. Its mild nature makes it appropriate for sensitive skin formulations. The ingredient can be found in various skincare products, including toners, mists, serums, and lightweight moisturizers. It pairs well with other hydrating ingredients and can enhance the efficacy of active compounds in formulations.
