Description
Infinity Ingredients is the UK distributor of APPLE - ECO from Provital
APPLE – ECO is standardised extract in Glycerin / water from the fruits of "Pyrus malus L.", harvested from organic crop. It contains 0.5 - 1.5% of reducing sugars.
Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) regulatory activity is due to the carbohydrates and α-hydroxyacids (AHA) in apple. Most AHA’s are natural active compounds that promote normal keratinization and desquamation.
Carbohydrates are hygroscopic, namely they adsorb water thus contributing to keep a healthy moisture level in the horny layer. Due to its high content in phenol compounds and vitamin C, apple has antioxidant properties, scavenges free radicals and protects the organism from cell deterioration.
Apple Eco is highly recommendable to formulate cosmetic products with moisturising activity on skin and hair.
