About

Acerola fruit water, naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants to brighten and deeply hydrate the skin.

Malpighia glabra (acerola) fruit water is a steam distillate containing residual ascorbic acid and polyphenols from the fruit. EU CosIng lists the ingredient without restriction under 'skin conditioning.' As a distillate, the concentration of actives is much lower than in the fruit powder. No EU maximum concentration limit applies, and no hazard classification has been assigned under CLP.

Skin benefits

  • Excellent source of vitamin C supporting collagen synthesis
  • Contains antioxidants that protect against free radical damage
  • May brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation

Known concerns

  • Mild irritation possible in highly sensitive individuals
  • Individuals with aspirin sensitivity should use caution as acerola contains natural salicylates
