Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Vinegar fermented from Japanese apricot fruit, used as a natural humectant and mild exfoliant. Generally well tolerated in cosmetic studies, but low pH can irritate sensitive skin and no formal regulator review exists.

Skin benefits

  • Provides natural fruit acids that can mildly exfoliate and refine texture
  • Contributes antioxidants from polyphenols of Japanese apricot
  • Acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin surface
  • Animal and in vitro studies suggest a good safety margin

Known concerns

  • Low pH from acetic acid may sting sensitive or compromised skin
  • No formal CIR or SCCS opinion located
  • Fermented botanical composition varies between batches
