About
Tamarind fruit juice — an acidic, sugar-rich tropical pod-fruit juice with AHAs providing mild exfoliation and polyphenol antioxidants.
Tamarindus indica (tamarind) fruit juice is extracted from the pulp of the tropical Fabaceae pod-fruit. It contains tartaric acid, malic acid, sugars, and polyphenols, supporting AHA-type mild exfoliation and antioxidant function. The raw material is food-grade with a long culinary history. EU CosIng lists it without restriction and no GHS hazard class is assigned. The juice is naturally acidic and must be pH-managed for leave-on products, and the sugar content requires robust preservation.
