PYRUS MALUS SEED POWDER

Description

PYRUS MALUS SEED POWDER, derived from apple seeds, is an innovative natural exfoliant gaining traction in skincare formulations. This finely milled powder offers gentle yet effective mechanical exfoliation, helping to remove dead skin cells and promote cellular turnover. Rich in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, it provides additional benefits beyond its physical exfoliating properties.

The powder's particle size and shape are carefully controlled during processing to ensure optimal efficacy without causing micro-tears in the skin. Its natural origin makes it an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic exfoliants like microbeads. PYRUS MALUS SEED POWDER is particularly suitable for sensitive skin types due to its mild abrasive action.

In formulations, this ingredient can be incorporated into cleansers, scrubs, and masks at concentrations typically ranging from 0.5% to 5%, depending on the desired exfoliation level. It pairs well with hydrating and soothing agents to create balanced skincare products. Regular use may contribute to improved skin texture, enhanced product absorption, and a brighter complexion. However, as with all exfoliants, it should be used judiciously to avoid over-exfoliation and potential skin barrier disruption.
