What It Does
Apple Juice Concentrate is derived from the pressed and dehydrated juice of Malus domestica fruit, resulting in a sugar-rich, naturally acidic liquid abundant in malic acid, polyphenols, flavonoids, and fructose. Its naturally occurring malic acid content provides mild exfoliating and brightening properties, while its polyphenol and vitamin C content contribute antioxidant activity to formulations. Formulators choose it as a multifunctional botanical ingredient that combines humectancy from its natural sugars with mild AHA activity and marketing appeal as a recognizable, naturally sourced component in skin care and hair care products.
