Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract, commonly known as Apple Extract, is great for two things: anti-aging and skin-smoothing. It is high in antioxidants to protect your skin from free radicals, and to help it maintain youthful elasticity for longer.

This extract is made from your everyday run-of-the-mill red apple. Unlike the Swiss Apple Stem Cell Extract, this one is made directly from the actual fruit instead of a cell culture. Although its origins aren’t quite as exotic and impressive, this extract is still sure to treat your skin luxuriously! Learn how Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract is beneficial to your skin!

Apple Extract has a high concentration of antioxidants to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals which can lead to the weakening of the skin protective barrier and the appearance of uneven pigmentation and dark spots.

Free radicals can also break down collagen and elastin fibers leading to saggy skin, wrinkles, and a loss of skin elasticity. Antioxidants act to protect collagen and elastin to maintain skin elasticity and suppleness.

The high content of potent antioxidants contributes overall towards slowing the skin aging process. Apple Extract contains malic acid – a type of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA). Malic acid is a mild exfoliant that removes the outer layers of dead skin cells to reveal fresh and new skin beneath. Malic acid also helps in skin hydration.

This powerful extract also contains vitamins A and E, which help to promote healthier skin.All the different parts of the Pyrus Malus plant (including the seed and root) are still used in medicine today, treating ailments ranging from helping lower the risk of asthma to potentially helping prevent cancer. And in the field of skin care, apple fruit extract’s anti-aging effects have made it an important subject.

Below are some of our favorite Apple Extract benefits:

1 | Powerful Anti-Aging

Apple Extract also has a high content of antioxidants. This makes it useful for preventing free radicals from forming on the skin, as well as, removing free radicals that are already on the skin. These free radicals can come from UV radiation, pollution, and other environmental sources. By keeping our skin free of these damaging substances we can prevent the premature aging of the skin.

2 | Fights Acne

This extract is known to have several properties that can combat acne. It can improve your skin’s natural barrier, which not only helps to maintain the proper levels of skin moisture to prevent acne, but also prevents bacteria and other irritants that can cause blemishes from penetrating the skin.

Pyrus Malus extract is also known to have astringent and exfoliating properties that work together to clean the skin and tighten the pores. By tightening the pores, the extract also helps to reduce the amount of sebum that the pores secrete. This can be particularly useful for people who suffer from an oily complexion.

3 | Promotes Skin Growth

Apple Extract also increases the productivity of the fibroblast skin cells. By increasing these cell’s production of collagen and elastin, topical applications of the Pyrus Malus extract can increase skin density, reduce skin sagging, increase skin elasticity, and reduce wrinkles and fine lines!

4 | Fights Free Radicals

The pyrus malus apple is also a rich source of one of the best skin-boosting ingredients out there: polyphenolic antioxidants, which are famous for their ability to fight skin-damaging free radicals. 

5 | Helps Moisturize

This extract is considered a “humectant” which means it helps the skin to retain its moisture. It contains a fiber known as pectin which studies have proven can bolster and improve the functioning of our skin’s natural barrier. By maintaining the skin’s natural barrier, we can prevent it from losing essential moisture.

While apple extract provides a bevy or benefits for your skin, it’s just one of hundreds of potential skin care ingredients. That’s why the CHARLÍS Breath of Life Oxygen Face Serum combines Malus Domestica Apple Cell Culture Extract with Perfluorodecalin to create the ultimate rejuvenating serum for your face. 

Here are some of the other ingredients we use to help you look and feel your best:

APPLE STEM CELL: Studies show that apple stem cells boost production of human stem cells, protect the cell from stress, and decrease wrinkles.

ORGANIC CALENDULA OFFICINALIS FLOWER EXTRACT: Calendula Extract prevents aging in two different ways: It promotes skin tightness, which reduces day-to-day damage, and it also increases hydration within the skin, which is one of the main ways to prevent signs of aging.

UBIQUINONE: Ubiquinone is also (and perhaps more popularly) known as coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10. Applied to skin, it can have antioxidant benefits due to its energizing effect on factors in skin that tend to slow down with age and cumulative sun exposure.

ORGANIC CITRUS PARADISI PEEL OIL: Extracted from the peel of the grapefruit, this oil contains naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that help promote smoother, younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cell renewal. It also contains astringent and tightening properties, and due to potent antibacterial and antimicrobial effects, it’s the perfect ingredient to treat and protect acne-prone skin.

ORYZA SATIVA BRAN EXTRACT: Oryza sativa (rice) bran extract helps to soften skin. It is a rich source of over 100 antioxidant compounds, including vitamin E, ferulic acid, and oryzanol. The bran also contains moisturizing polysaccharides, omega-3 fatty acids, and micronutrients like calcium, selenium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc.
