What Is Guava?
More commonly known as guava, Psidum guajava fruit extract is a rich source of bioactive antioxidants, including gallic acid, catechin, chlorogenic acid, rutin, quercetin, tocopherol, beta-carotene and lycopene. The leaf extract is also a good source of beneficial compounds for healthy skin.\n\nTopical application of guava fruit can deliver these valuable antioxidants to skin, assuming the product in question is packaged to keep these light- and air-sensitive compounds stable during use (meaning no jar packaging).
