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 helps to lock in moisture, soothe irritation, and improve 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 helps maintain the fruit's firmness. 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: It acts as a natural moisturizer, forming a protective barrier that helps retain moisture and keep the skin hydrated.
Gentle: Soothes and calms irritated skin due to its gentle, non-irritating properties.
Stabilizing: Improves the texture and stability of skincare products, providing a smooth and gel-like consistency.
Protecting: Contains natural antioxidants, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radicals.
Anti-aging: Supports skin elasticity and firmness, contributing to a plump and healthy-looking complexion.
