About
Juice of the gooseberry — a vitamin C and polyphenol-rich fruit juice used to soften and refresh skin. Gentle when well-preserved.
Ribes grossularia (gooseberry) fruit juice is a water-based skin conditioner. It delivers vitamin C, malic and citric acid, and polyphenols (particularly anthocyanins and flavonols), which contribute antioxidant and mild humectant effects. CosIng lists it under skin conditioning. No specific CIR review; the safety dossier relies on long culinary history and absence of adverse effect reports at cosmetic levels. As with other fresh-fruit juices, the core formulation consideration is microbial control, because natural sugars support spoilage microbes. Irritation potential is low at typical use levels (1-10%).
