Information
Pectin is a natural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fruits, commonly used in skincare for its gelling, thickening, and moisturizing properties. Known for its ability to form a protective film on the skin's surface, pectin can lock in moisture, soothe irritation, and contribute to the texture and consistency of skincare formulations.
Where does it come from?
Pectin is extracted from fruits like apples, citrus fruits, and berries, where it serves as a structural component that maintains the fruit's form. In skincare, it is obtained through the processing of these fruits and then purified for use in cosmetic formulations as a natural thickener and skin-conditioning agent.
Moisturizing: A natural moisturizer, forming a protective barrier that can lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated.
Gentle: Soothes and calms irritated skin due to its gentle, non-irritating properties.
Stabilizing: Contributes to the texture and stability of skincare products, providing a smooth and gel-like consistency.
Protecting: Contains natural antioxidants that can protect the skin from environmental factors and free radicals.
