Fruits in skincare

All of Smuuti’s products feature various fruit extracts, but what exactly do these do in skincare? Fruits are not only delicious to eat, but their extracts also offer numerous benefits for the skin. Different fruits have different properties, but they all have skin hydrating, nourishing and protective properties.

Watermelon’s secret sauce is water

Watermelon is mainly made up of water, which makes it an excellent hydrator. Watermelon extract helps keep the skin hydrated and cool, which is especially useful on hot summer days or for skin with surface dehydration.

Watermelon extract contains plenty of vitamins A and C as well as antioxidants like lycopene. These ingredients help protect the skin from environmental stressors and keep the skin glowing. Lycopene also gives watermelon its beautiful reddish color.

Watermelon is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is great for sensitive and irritated skin and can help reduce redness and soothe the skin. Watermelon has been used in Korea for decades to soothe the skin.

Kiwi brings brightness to the skin

Kiwi is full of vitamins C and E, which are effective antioxidants and care for and brighten the skin. Vitamins from fruit extracts are gentler than pure vitamins in skin care.

Kiwi contains natural enzymes, such as actinidin, which help gently exfoliate the skin. This exfoliation removes dead skin cells and reveals brighter, healthier looking skin. Enzyme exfoliation is more gentle than exfoliating acids.

Kiwi extract can help balance sebum production, making it especially beneficial for oily or blemish-prone skin. It helps to keep the pores clean and prevents the formation of blemishes.

Skin as smooth as peaches

Peach extract is an excellent skin care ingredient that helps keep the skin soft and supple. The amino acids and nutrients it contains support the moisture balance of the skin and prevent it from drying out.

Peach extract contains A vitamins, which help improve skin tone and brighten dull skin. The mildness of fruit extracts makes them excellent ingredients for young and sensitive skin as well.

Peach’s natural ceramides help strengthen the skin barrier. The skin barrier keeps hydration in the skin and irritants out. Together with peach’s antioxidants, peach extract is a very protective ingredient.

 

Watermelon, kiwi and peach extracts offer many benefits in skincare. These natural ingredients each offer unique properties that make them excellent choices for a many skin types. The mildness of the fruit extracts also allows everyone to mix and match Smuuti’s different product lines, if the formulas fit your skin.
