Prunus Persica Fruit Extract

Prunus persica fruit extract is derived from peaches and is used in skincare formulations as both an exfoliant and skin conditioning agent. The extract contains naturally occurring compounds including phenolics and other phytochemicals that contribute to its functional properties.In products, this ingredient typically serves a dual role: the finely milled fruit particles provide mild physical exfoliation to slough away dead skin cells, whilst the extract itself delivers hydrating and skin-conditioning benefits that help maintain the skin barrier after exfoliation.

The exfoliating action comes from the physical texture of finely ground peach particles, which gently buff away dead skin cells when massaged onto damp skin. This mechanical action encourages cell turnover and can help unblock pores and prevent product buildup.The extract component contains humectants and conditioning compounds that work alongside exfoliation to prevent the skin from becoming dry or irritated. This combination approach means the ingredient both cleanses and nourishes in a single step.

Use 2–3 times per week on clean, damp skin using gentle circular motions. Avoid the delicate eye and lip areas. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with a hydrating toner or moisturiser to replenish the skin barrier. Start with once-weekly use if you have sensitive skin, and discontinue if irritation occurs. Do not use on active breakouts or severely compromised skin.

Generally well-tolerated on most skin types when used as directed. The physical exfoliation may cause temporary redness in sensitive skin. Avoid use on sunburned, inflamed, or broken skin.
