What Is Sweet Almond Seed Extract?
Sweet almond seed extract is derived from the seeds of Prunus amygdalus dulcis. It contains proteins, vitamins, and minerals that nourish and soften the skin.
The extract has natural skin-lightening properties due to compounds that inhibit tyrosinase. It also provides gentle cleansing action from natural saponins.
Sweet almond is well-tolerated by most skin types and has been used in skincare for centuries.
