Plum Extract
What Plum Extract is & what it does
A plum extract rich in antioxidants that helps protect and condition skin. It supports a smoother, more even-looking surface.
What does Plum Extract do in skincare?
Plum Extract is used as a skin-conditioning agent and antioxidant. It is derived from plum fruit, which contains polyphenols and vitamins that can support a healthy-looking, conditioned skin surface. In sunscreens it is usually a supporting botanical rather than a UV active.
Is Plum Extract safe?
Plum fruit extract is commonly used in cosmetics and is generally regarded as safe at the levels used in formulas. As a fruit botanical it is usually well tolerated, though sensitive skin can occasionally react. Patch testing a new product first is a reasonable precaution.
Is Plum Extract vegan?
The extract is derived from plum fruit and contains no animal-sourced material, so the ingredient itself is suitable for vegan formulas. Whether a finished product is fully vegan depends on its other ingredients and the brand's sourcing.
